Janome 1522BL

Janome is a prestigious Japanese brand that has been a leader in the sewing machine industry for over a century. Founded in 1921, the company earned its name—which means 'eye of the snake' in Japanese—from the round bobbin system it pioneered, which was a significant innovation at the time. The Janome 1522BL model shown in the image represents the brand's commitment to mechanical precision and modern design, specifically catering to the European market through distributors like Nahmaschinen-direkt.

While the brand's mechanical engineering and research and development remain rooted in Japan, Janome has optimized its global supply chain. Most modern Janome machines are manufactured in their own high-tech factories located in Taiwan and Thailand. The company remains an independent public entity headquartered in Tokyo, continuing to operate under the original brand identity it established over 100 years ago.
