The Traditional Craft Technique of "Dyeing" Passed Down from the Meiji Era
Kamawanu’s hand-dyeing technique has been made using the uniquely Japanese dyeing method called "Chusen" since the Meiji era. By placing resist paste and then dyeing in one go, it is characterized by being reversible and usable on both sides without a backing.
Due to the handcrafting process, subtle "variations" occur in colors and patterns, changing as you use it. Each piece is unique, possessing a lively and complementary relationship that deepens over time.
