About 「SOUMOKU NISHOKU DYEING」

A special traditional hand-finished dyeing technique in Japanese craftsmanship, which involves using two different plant-based dyes to color fabrics or garment, resulting in a dual-tone effect. As a unique variation of plant dyeing, it skillfully utilizes natural plant pigments and dyeing methods to create distinctive two-color patterns, characterized by its natural, eco-friendly, and artistic qualities.

PLANT-DYEING MATERIAL

「KAKISHIBU-DYE」

Before the beginning of autumn each year, unripe green persimmons are harvested, washed, crushed, juiced, and filtered. The persimmon juice is then fermented and aged for several months or even over a year to produce a deep brown persimmon tannin dye. Traditionally, the dye is buried underground or stored in a cool, shaded place to enhance its colorfastness and stability
