Ota City is the birthplace of the automaker SUBARU. The city's knitwear industry is said to have begun after World War II when engineers from Nakajima Aircraft, the predecessor to SUBARU, manufactured hand-spinning machines for spinning yarn. Once home to nearly 200 knitwear factories, the city now has fewer than 10 due to overseas production and a shortage of successors. "OTA KNIT" is a regional brand created by local factories and brands working together to revitalize Ota City's knitwear industry once again.
These are MADE IN OTA JAPAN knitwear products, carefully crafted by skilled artisans.
