This product is hand-dyed by the traditional Japanese Chusen dye technique. Color gradually lightens and texture of the cloth becomes softer. Because each cloth is dyed by hand, each one has its own look.
What's Chusen dye?
It is one of the traditional Japanese dyeing techniques. On layers of clothes, apply starch to the area that won't be dyed. After starch is dried, build a bank to the area that will be dyed. Pour dyes inside the bank. Dyes go through all layers of clothes, so finishing colors are vivid in both front and back of the cloth.
Each cloth is dyed by hand and color may transfer when it is wet or it is rubbed on something. Please wash separately by hand and hang dry in shade.
