The river
is the audit
The mill has drawn from the same water for fifty-eight years, and the families who work here drink it. That is a stricter standard than any certificate, and it sets how the dye house runs.

Four places the mill can do harm
Water
水
Reverse osmosis behind the dye house recovers 92% of process water. What does leave is tested daily against the Okayama prefectural limit and runs well inside it.
Energy
光
Rooftop solar covers 38% of mill demand. The slow looms help — sixty picks a minute draws a fraction of what a projectile loom needs.
Chemistry
薬
ZDHC MRSL conformant. No potassium permanganate, no PFAS finishes, no sandblasting anywhere in the finishing routes we offer.
Waste
屑
Loom waste and inspection cut-offs are re-spun into a recycled weft programme. Landfill from the mill floor is under two tonnes a year.
