The Story of the Cotton God

Tenjiku Shrine: The Only Shrine in Japan Dedicated to the Cotton God

The cotton yarns we use for handweaving are blessed at Tenjiku Shrine in the Mikawa region of Aichi Prefecture.
According to local legend, about 1,200 years ago, in 799 during the Heian period, a person from Konron, believed to be from what is now India, drifted ashore in present-day Nishio City. The local people took care of him.
In gratitude, he gave them cotton seeds and taught them how to grow cotton and weave it into fabric. At the time, Japan had no cotton, and hemp and silk were the main materials used for textiles. It is said that cotton cultivation and weaving spread from Aichi throughout Japan thanks to his knowledge.
Today, he is enshrined at Tenjiku Shrine as Japan's only Cotton God. The Mikawa region is now known for Mikawa Momen, a traditional cotton textile.

Note: The kanji for “cotton” (棉) and “enshrine” (祭る) follow the terminology used by Tenjiku Shrine and Nishio City.

About the Orinami Handweaving Workshop

Orinami is a hands-on workshop operated by Hagumamu, where you can use five cotton yarns blessed at the shrine of the Cotton God to weave a piece of fabric on a table loom and create a one-of-a-kind omamori (Japanese protective charm).
We have three locations: Asakusa Koenmae in Tokyo, which offers workshops in Japanese; Asakusa in Tokyo, which offers workshops with foreign-language support; and Gamagori in Aichi Prefecture, which offers workshops in Japanese.
