Miyoshi Rug is a brand of rug mats that are hand-crafted by artisans one by one at a factory in Tokushima Prefecture.
Each pattern is hand-crafted by hand one at a time using a method called hooking, like drawing on a canvas. Although rugs that are produced using fully-automated hooking machines have also become popular, the manually-hooked mats have unique properties that can only be produced by hand, such as the reproduction of delicate and subtle patterns.
In the past, there were many hooking mat factories around Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, but now the number of artisans has dwindled, and there are only a few remaining in Japan.
To preserve such a traditional technique, we hope that the Japan-made hand-crafted hooked rugs could somewhat spread through the concept of "protecting traditional crafts through art and fashion".

三好敷物は徳島県の工場で熟練の職人が1点ずつ手作業で作成したラグマットです。
フッキングという製法で1点1点、正にキャンバスに絵を描くように手作業で柄を打ち込んでいきます。全自動の機械で作成をするフッキングマシーンも普及しましたが、手作業のフッキングマットには細かい微妙な柄の再現など、手作業でしか出せない独特の風合いが御座います。
昔は徳島県三好市の近辺に沢山のフッキングマットの工場がありましたが、今は職人も減り日本国内でも数件を残すのみとなっております。
この伝統技術を絶やさないために、「アートやファッションを通じて伝統工芸を守る」をコンセプトに少しでも日本製の手作業のフッキングラグと言う物が広まればと思っております。
