Warm your entire body from the stomach down with natural silk! Perfect for warming up! This Japanese-made "silk belly warmer" can be worn all year round. One size fits all.

Cold is the root cause of all illnesses - this "silk belly warmer" is a warming item that gently incorporates this ancient wisdom into modern life.

Kinokoto's "Silk Belly Warmer" is made from 97% carefully selected high-quality silk, and is soft to the touch and feels like it clings to the skin. The knitting is just right so that it doesn't slip off, but isn't too tight either. This belly warmer is also a favorite of the store manager.

It will gently wrap around your stomach 365 days a year, not only in winter but also in the cold summer air-conditioned season.

Silk, known as the "Queen of Fibers," is a natural material made up of the same proteins (amino acids) as human skin.

It has excellent heat retention, but also has high moisture absorption and release properties, making it less likely to become stuffy.

It's neither too thin nor too thick, and has excellent stretch, so it won't show through your outerwear and you can wear it comfortably during the day or while sleeping.

Warming your stomach means warming your entire body efficiently from the center.

It improves blood circulation, raises basal body temperature, and boosts immunity.

We wholeheartedly recommend this item to anyone who suffers from poor circulation, those trying to conceive, those with a sensitive stomach, and those who want to start their warming wellness journey.

The passion behind kinokoto: 25 years of craftsmanship that cares for forests and people

The brand name kinokoto is imbued with deep feelings.

Protecting Japanese "trees" (ki 木), cherishing the "feelings" (ki 気) of those who use them, and harnessing the "functions" (kinou 機能) of natural materials — all of these form the philosophy of this brand.

The history of ASUCOM Co., Ltd. dates back to Yokoyama Iron Works Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of woodworking and sawmill machinery founded in 1937.

Forests cover 70% of Japan's land area.

However, with the increase in cheap imported timber, demand for domestic timber declined and forests were in danger of being devastated.

"We want to protect Japan's forests" — driven by this strong conviction, ASUCOM Co., Ltd. was established in 2000 with the aim of making effective use of thinned timber.

We have developed "ceramic charcoal" by mixing thinning wood (cypress and cedar) from Shizuoka Prefecture with natural clay (ceramics) and firing it at a high temperature of approximately 850°C using a proprietary carbonization device.

This patented technology has resulted in the creation of a material with excellent deodorizing, moisture-regulating, and heat-retaining properties.

However, we want to create products that are not just building materials, but that can be felt more intimately in everyday life.

With this in mind, we have collaborated with designers and planners and have exhibited at gift shows every year since 2002.

We have developed a series of household goods that utilize the functions of ceramic charcoal, and have expanded our sales channels to shops across the country.

As a result, the warming lifestyle brand "kinokoto" was born — a warmer series that blends functionality and sensibility by combining natural materials such as silk, linen, and organic cotton with ceramic charcoal.

This "silk belly warmer" is the culmination of Askham's 25 years of research and passion for forests.

"Small moments of happiness that reach all the way to Sumi" — we hope you can feel this sentiment in your everyday life.
