What is ” NANGA “?

NANGA” is a brand formerly known as “Yokota Sewing,” which was established by Akira Yokota in 1941. Originally, the company was engaged in the manufacture of bedding as a subcontractor for bedding manufacturers, but in 1960, when a major bedding manufacturer requested price reductions and decided to move production overseas, the company began manufacturing sleeping bags (sleeping bags) as a subcontractor for sleeping bag manufacturers, taking advantage of its existing capabilities. The company’s second president, sensing the limitations of the business, decided to go independent. The second president of Nanga decided to go independent, and started his own brand, which led to the birth of Nanga. After several name changes, the company changed its name to ” Nanga ” in 1995, which is the current brand name. The brand name is derived from Nanga Parbat, a challenging 8,000-meter-high mountain in the Himalayas, and it expresses the company’s will to confront difficulties, “Let’s do it because it’s difficult, and climb where no one else climbs.

Nanga’s relationship with ” Kawada Feathers,” which produces the highest quality feathers in Japan

All down used by Nanga is cleaned and processed at ” Kawada Feathers ” in Ise Plain, Mie Prefecture. The waterfowl feathers used for down are covered with tiny, invisible dust particles and grime, which, if left untreated, will reduce heat retention and cause the formation of mites and other bacteria. Kawada Feather’s factory is located in an area surrounded by mountains and rich in environment that produces ultra soft water. This ultra-soft water washes away dirt and grime from the feathers, and the dry climate unique to this area enhances the effectiveness of the feathers in opening and removing dirt. By washing and processing in such an optimal environment for down production, it is possible to produce the highest quality down.
