Mayu alawiba tiga kyorasayaa.

Your hands are so clean when you wash your cocoons.

This is a word that has been passed down in the Amami region.

Amami people have been making cocoons and spinning raw silk.

Even when exposed to strong sunlight and sea breezes,

My hands were strangely glossy when I touched the cocoons.

 

Living on Amami Oshima Island, suffering from sunburned skin and spots from the strong sunlight.

Satoe Nishi (founder of Adan) was an agent for a cosmetics company,

We want to make cosmetics that can truly beautify your skin, using safe and reliable ingredients.”

I had the feeling that this was a good idea.

 

He has also experienced the quality of the island’s treasured silk fabric, Oshima tsumugi (Oshima silk), as a weaver,

We also wondered if we could make use of silk.

Wearing silk underwear can help prevent female diseases.

 

He was 56 years old at the time.

Knowing that there are many possibilities for silk, he consults his son, who was involved in medicine at the university.

Through trial and error on my own and my family’s skin,

At times, we had to ruin all the raw materials.

And finally, after a year of work, there is nothing else like it.

We have created skincare using silk as the main raw material.

 

Later, he was invited by a department store buyer,

For everyone in Japan who has skin problems

We deliver silk skin care.

The start of silk cosmetics production was in the kitchen.
