On August 31, Reiwa 4 (2022), BA11 'Wamodern Times' aired,
and I had the opportunity to provide materials for the Kojima Obi PV.
The program featured actress Riho Makise visiting Kurashiki, discovering Kurashiki's "Japanese modern" side while strolling through the Bikan Historical Quarter in a denim kimono.
The filming spanned two days, and Ms. Makise, who wore two denim kimonos, was incredibly charming.
Although I wasn't involved in the filming at all (lol), I received a call from the representative of Company T, which produces the program.
During the editing stage of the program, they wanted to introduce the denim kimonos of Okayama in more detail, and they were looking for footage of denim kimonos being made.
At that time, they reportedly discovered our company's YouTube channel
"Kurashiki Wa DENIM x Kojima Obi x Nanasaizome ~The ultimate harmony of silk and cotton nurtured by the Seto Inland Sea".
They contacted us to say that the footage was perfect for what they were looking for and that they would love to use it.

About 17 seconds of this video was broadcast on television.
I would be delighted if people across the country could experience the charm of Setouchi, Okayama, and Kurashiki through this video.
