The roots of Kano-ko go back to 1889, when Yasujiro Kano set up a new branch for the Sahei Kameya family, and his eldest son Kiichiro took over and expanded the business.

Kano-Ko began to offer a wider variety of obi products. Starting with maru obis for formal occasions, Kano-Ko's range of products increased to include casual 8-sun obis and reasonably priced formal fukuro obis targeted at department stores.

Innovative Approach
Kano-ko, in an effort to apply its skill at weaving to interior fabric, dress fabric, and other like products, has in 2015 created a new textile division named Kano-ko 440.

By applying its original skills using styles like twill weave to materials of greater width, Kano-ko has realized detailed expression of three dimensional patterns with depth not brought out in the past. Additionally, Kano-ko has succeeded in weaving materials which use vibrant colors, such as could not emerge from a common rapier loom.
