A unique design blending in techniques of craftsmen

The label is a wooden cloth, hand-sewn by artisans in the “nishijin weaving” style, with highly selected materials from noble wood that’s over 250 years old. This processing makes patterns emerge by scrubbing the surface of the material and develops them along with the coloring technique “kyou-yuuzen”, which is then finished off by craftsmen from Kyoto, creating a pattern that’s been designed about 100 years ago. The strength and beauty of Japan’s essence is expressed through these distinctive Japanese techniques.
