Historical Significance:
Iga City in Mie Prefecture, renowned for its traditional crafts, was the third city in Japan to enact a partnership system. Katsunori and Hiro, a gay couple who moved to Iga, have played a pivotal role in revitalizing local industries by creating “kumi-himo” (braided cords) and Iga pottery, with the support of understanding local people and businesses.

About Iga Braided Cords:
The origins of Iga braided cords date back to before the Nara period. However, it was during the middle of the Meiji period (1868-1912) that Iga's braided cords saw full-scale development. Techniques from Edo braiding were introduced to Iga, transforming it into the largest producer of high-end hand-knitted cords.
In 1976, Iga braided cords were designated as a “traditional craft” by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, solidifying their cultural and historical importance.
