Blooming Dyeing – The Technique of Ajisai (Hydrangea)
A flower that colors the rainy season in Japan, the hydrangea.
Its name comes from "Azu (gathering) ・ Sai (blue)", and the color of the flower gradually changes, which is why it is also called "Seven Transformations" or "Eight Immortal Flowers."
This technique is a piece created to capture the subtle beauty of that gradual change during the blooming season.
A design that subtly colors your everyday wear and interiors while evoking the feeling of the seasons.
Worn on the head for a gentle coolness and as an accent to your outfit, it is also recommended as a wrapping cloth or gift wrapping.
Dyed Brand "Rien Zome"
Rien Zome (Rien Dyeing) is a brand established by the old master "Todiya Store" from the Meiji era.
Chusen (tie-dyeing) is a traditional Japanese technique where dye is injected into the cloth, resulting in vivid colors without a backside. The beauty of the unevenness and blurriness cannot be reproduced by machine dyeing, which is its unique charm.
The technique of Rien Zome is excellent in water absorption and quick-drying, making it perfect for everyday use. The more you wash it, the softer it becomes and it gently fits your skin, allowing for long-term use.
The design draws from traditional patterns of Edo, widely expanding to modern designs that fit the blooming season. Combining practicality and design, it is also ideal for gifts.
