Farmers' MONPE KOMOCHI/ eel bed

Farmer's MONPE" for the best relaxation

Komochi Stripe

This stripe consists of a thick stripe with a thin stripe on one side. The thick stripe is the parent and the thin stripe is the child, and it is also called "Oyakojimajima" (parent-child stripe). In the Edo period (1603-1867), it was used for weddings to bring good luck, from the word "kotsu-hirari," meaning "to have a child.

The "modern-style MONPE" developed by eel bedding is slimmer around the hips and below the knees. This " Farmer's MONPE " has a looser silhouette, closer to the traditional monpe. It is the best relaxing wear that lets you know the history and at the same time can be worn without feeling tight.

You can tell the difference in size and fabric.

［How to choose MONPE] is here.

Kurume Kasuri, which excels in breathability, water absorbency, and quick-drying properties

The fabric is Kurume Kasuri from the Chikugo region of southern Fukuoka Prefecture. It is woven loosely and softly on a vintage shuttle loom, so it is breathable and comfortable to wear. The more you use it, the more comfortable it becomes, and it dries quickly due to its high water absorbency.

Thick and durable. The more it is washed, the softer it becomes.

All of our standard monpae (thick) are made of knotted yarn called "nep," which gives the fabric a puffy appearance. (*Not a furball.) Depending on how often they are worn and washed, after a few years the knots will be removed somewhat and the fabric will settle down a little.

Farmers' MONPE" follows the old-fashioned monpe

This is a MONPE with generally loose lines, similar to the shape of an old-fashioned MONPE. Compared to modern-style MONPE, it has a wider silhouette around the hips and from the knees to the calves. It is recommended for those who want to wear it loosely, for those who use it for work or exercise, and for those who are concerned about the narrowness below the knees of the modern-style MONPE.
