Heal yourself and your loved ones. "Gentle silk" knitted by Japanese craftspeople.｜Kinuya
Silk is made of the same protein as human skin and is called a "second skin."
Moist in dry winter, smooth in humid summer.
Kinuya items keep your bare skin comfortable through every season.
Wearing a second skin
A silk specialty brand "Kinuya," run by apparel maker DAIGO Co., Ltd. in Nagoya, Aichi. Under the concept of "comfortable daily life with silk," they propose items that bring the power of silk — a natural fiber with excellent moisture absorption, release and heat retention — into everyday life. The greatest feature is careful production at workshops in Japan. In partnership with domestic sock and knitting factories, they finish delicate silk into durable products that are easy to wash and feel good on the skin. A brand that gently wraps your body and mind — from cold-care socks to night caps that nurture beautiful hair.
Why "Kinuya" Is Chosen | 3 Reasons
Reliable Made in Japan
Produced at partner factories in Aichi and Nara — Nara boasts Japan's largest sock production. Using old-style knitting machines, with craftspeople knitting slowly while watching the yarn, they achieve a soft texture that holds air.
The proprietary "Gokudan silk"
They develop the "Gokudan (extreme warm) silk" series — a silk that, with a special process applied to the thread, absorbs moisture from the body and converts it into heat. While keeping silk's good touch, it delivers warmth on par with wool — a popular winter series.
A design that blends with daily life
By tempering the gloss often seen in silk products, or pairing silk with cotton and linen, they create a natural design that's easy to match with everyday clothes. They're particular about packaging too — very popular as gifts.
Editor's Note
What impressed me most among Kinuya's products was the leg warmer in the "Gokudan (extreme warm) silk" series. It uses a special yarn that generates heat even though it's silk — warm from the moment I put it on. The skin-side is silk so it doesn't prickle, and even with my dry skin it's comfortable all day long. I use a night cap regularly too, and the gloss of my hair the next morning is clearly different. The packaging is simple and elegant, so I often choose Kinuya for Mother's Day or a friend's birthday gift.

Gokudan (Extreme Warm) Silk Leg Warmer
