Important Notes

The fabric is indigo-dyed pinpoint cross sashiko from Shizuoka Prefecture.
The Enshu region has long been a breeding ground for highly skilled craftsmen, and is still known today as one of Japan's leading cotton textile production areas.

This fabric is made in the Enshu region at a long-established workshop that was founded 150 years ago, and is made in an integrated manner from dyeing the yarn to weaving. The yarn is carefully hand-dyed and then woven to preserve the color and texture of the yarn.

The more you wash it, the more its texture improves, making it a tasteful fabric.

This season, the fabric is woven with thick slub yarn on a dark blue indigo-dyed base thread, and the weft thread is switched between navy blue and white to create a fine cross pattern.

It is a cool fabric that is reminiscent of Japanese summers, and feels comfortable against the skin and changes over time.

Although it is a traditional workwear, it does not feel like a typical Japanese garment; rather, it can be used as a Western garment for everyday wear and make a nice accent piece.
