The charm of hand dyeing craftsmanship stands out
The purse features an original textile design made with hand dyeing.
Using domestic cotton fabric from the brand "Fujikinbai," which has a traditional history, each piece is carefully hand-dyed at a dyeing workshop in Kyoto, one by one, using precious shuttle looms.
Skilled artisans dye the high-quality cotton fabric by hand at the Kyoto dyeing workshop.
The traditional technique creates a deep color and a unique blend that is truly captivating.
Looking closely at the fabric, you can feel the richness of the colors unique to hand dyeing. Subtle gradations and shading create a blend that can only be achieved by handwork, expressing a one-of-a-kind beauty.
Each piece is carefully dyed one by one, resulting in a warmth and depth that cannot be expressed by simple printing.
The meticulous craftsmanship brings out the refined beauty of Japanese style. Each time you use it, you can feel the meaning of traditional craftsmanship and Japanese beauty.
We hope you will experience the charm of this blend of warmth and beauty brought to life by the craftsman's handiwork.
Plum blossom pattern imbued with wishes and prayers
Plum blossoms for health and disaster prevention
A delicate flower that blooms bravely amid cold winds and snow. Along with its faint sweet fragrance, it signals the early arrival of spring.
The deep red, pink, and white colors of the winter landscape evoke a breath of life.
In Japan's oldest anthology of songs, the "Manyoshu," many songs use the plum blossom as a theme, enchanting people since ancient times.
The plum blossom is said to be the origin of the plum-flavored dried fruit and the tea "Daifuku-cha," which contains kunpu seaweed and was traditionally drunk by Emperor Murakami during the Heian period when he was ill, aiding his recovery. It became a custom to drink it while wishing for a year free of illness and disasters.
The colors include warm reds,
and bright, poppy yellows in two color variations.
The colors fall softly yet maintain individuality, making them ideal as colorful items for everyday life. Being Japanese modern designs, they also coordinate well with kimono and casual clothes.
※ Since the fabric is made by cutting large pieces, there may be individual differences in the placement of the pattern. Please understand this.
