Of the two prefectures that Mount Fuji straddles, Shizuoka in the south is the one that gets most of the attention, mainly because the Shinkansen bullet train passes through it from Tokyo to Kyoto and back, and Fuji is visible from the window. The other prefecture, Yamanashi, is equally privileged when it comes to views of Japan's tallest and most famous mountain and local companies like Yamazaki Textile have been using it for decades to create stunningly beautiful items for everyday use – or as in the case of the Atelier Fujizakura Mount Fuji Necktie, everyday wear!
With expertise in fabric-making that goes back to the early 20th century, Yamazaki Textile has used some of the best silk you can find anywhere in Japan to create the Atelier Fujizakura Mount Fuji Necktie, a 8.5 x 148 cm (3.3 x 58.3") tie whose main color is either navy, gray, or jade, all adorned with patterns inspired by Fuji's snow-capped peak. Whether it's for your office wardrobe or special occasions, this tie makes a strong Japanese statement in a subtle but definite way!
