Our history
1954

Yoneichi Onda, founder of Onyone, worked as a salesman in his parent’s drapery store.

He sold farmers cotton fabrics used to make working clothes. Yoneichi carried heavy fabrics across towns to visit customers.

His mantle would get wet on rainy days, which made him wonder if his work could be better. At that time, the first waterproof nylon raincoat was introduced in the market.

Impressed by this new technology, Yoneichi ordered that same fabric and started making raincoats in Nagaoka, our head office’s current location.

Yoneichi spent most of his time developing a waterproof fabric that would also preserve heat. He glued a cotton ball inside of the outer fabric with rubber cement commonly used to repair flat tires on bicycles.

Using this innovating technique, he produced a new raincoat that would become the starting point for Onyone.
