What is Fuji Kinbai®?
This is the Japanese canvas brand of Kawashima Shoji.
Kawashima Shoji was originally founded as a trading company specializing in fishery materials, and is now developing its textile business as a general textile trading company.
Since 1948, Fuji Kinbai®, as a leading Japanese canvas brand, has been providing stable materials and quality while adhering to the tradition of “JAPAN MADE”.
Today, Fuji Kinbai® produces textiles that transcend the boundaries of materials under the name “Made by Fuji Kinbai®” by gathering carefully selected materials not only from Japan but also from all over the world, while cherishing the JAPAN quality cultivated over many years in cotton canvas.

Fuji Kinbai® will continue to provide textiles that will please everyone, valuing the bond with nature.
What’s so great about Fuji Kinbai?
Fuji Kinbai’s Japanese canvas is woven on a shuttle loom.
Shuttle looms are powerful and suitable for weaving a fluffy voluminous canvas. The selvedge on the canvas prevent the threads from fraying.
On the other hand, compared to shuttleless looms, shuttle looms require more manual labor by craftsmen and lack production efficiency, so many factories around the world use shuttleless looms for their high productivity.
On a different note, even for men’s clothing, fabrics made on shuttle looms are favored by tailors and others who are particular about their natural texture.
