History of NITTA TEXTILE ART INC
In 1884, long after the first generation of the family had followed their feudal lord Kagekatsu Uesugi and relocated to the region known as Echigo Province (present-day Niigata Prefecture), the 16th head of the family, Tomejiro Nitta, became the founder of the Nitta Weaving Shop.
After winning many awards at various fairs, the name of “Nitta” became synonymous with the hakama skirting fabric of Yonezawa. The second head of the family, Kumao, also proved to be an industry pioneer. He invented new products such as robakama, or hakama made with silk gauze. The third generation, represented by Shuji and his wife Tomiko, had a fateful encounter with benibana (safflower) in 1963. Fascinated by the almost visionary beauty of the flower, they from that time on devoted themselves to improving their dyeing technique and achieving a color that met their high standards. They were later succeeded by Hideyuki, who was very particular about product quality standards. He promoted integrated production, which involved handling both the dyeing and weaving processes in-house.
Because it is believed that the coldest weather brings out the best colors, midwinter in Yonezawa is the season of benibana dyeing. Thanks to the Nitta family’s persistent efforts and research – and achievable only through the repeated-dyeing technique, Nitta fabrics now come in hundred’s of unique shades and hues. Fifth-generation Gentaro, the current head of the family, has inherited this spirit, and strives to produce only the best.

關於新田織物的歷史
1884年，第一代家族繼封建領主上杉景勝搬遷到稱為越後省（今新潟縣）的地區後不久，家族的第16位戶主新田留次郎
成為了新田紡織的創始人。
新田紡織店，在各種展覽會上贏得許多獎項後 “新田” 這個名字就成為了米澤的和服料的代名詞。家族的第二個負責人熊雄
也被證明是行業的先驅。他發明的新產品，有用絲紗布製成的和服。及後第三代的秀次
和他的妻子富子在1963年，利用他們著迷於紅花的美，創作並致力於改善染色技術而製作出高標準的和服。後來，對產品質量標準非常嚴格的第四代英行
接替了他們促進了處理染色和織造過程的綜合生產。
據說紅花染要在米澤冬天最冷的時候染才是最美麗。
由新田家族不懈的研究和努力而誕生的紡織品散發出了上百種無與倫比的層染色彩。織物現在具有數百種獨特的色調。
第5代源太郎繼承了這種精神，並且正在努力創作更好的紡織品。
