Why is Japanese denim so superior?

It's well-known that top international fashion houses consistently use Japanese-made denim fabric when creating denim items. One reason for this is the high level of Japanese dyeing technology. The technique called "core white," where the core of the thread is not dyed during the dyeing process, is highly regarded, resulting in exquisite fading over time. Furthermore, the reputation of Japanese sewing techniques has also been rising in recent years. One reason why high-quality denim products are made in Okayama, the mecca of Japanese denim products, is that the techniques for sewing thick fabrics, cultivated in the production of tabi socks, were applied to the production of school uniforms and later to denim products.
