It is a name engraving using traditional technique "katazome" dyed fabric.
Since it is handmade by all artisans, even on the same fabric, individuality is reflected point by point.
The pattern outline may be shaky, the dyeing method may vary,
and this “unevenness” brings out expressions and warmth that cannot be created digitally.
*Because the way the fabric comes out changes depending on the cutting location, you cannot choose the fabric position. Please understand this in advance.
What name engraving brings to conversation
Name engraving is mainly a simple, unpatterned design made with a laser.
However, this name engraving leaves a strong impression at first glance.
The moment you are told, "It's a wonderful name engraving," you will surely visit.
Easy to use
Since there are pockets on the left and right when opened, you can separate your own and the other person's name engraving, or carry two types of name engravings freely.
It is not only for name engraving but also active as card holders that organize point cards.
Putting thoughts into each one
Making name engraving is done with "Yotsume dyeing technique."
At our dyeing studio, using Japan's traditional techniques "katazome" and "tsutsuzome," we apply patterns on fabric and produce products such as name engravings using natural materials.
<Katazome>
First, you start by making stencil paper with an original design.
Place this stencil paper on the fabric, apply a paste made from rice flour or starch, and brush it on.
The parts where the paste is applied do not get dyed, becoming the white parts of the pattern.
<Tsutsuzome>
Paste is applied with a freehand brush as if tying raw cream.
The parts where the paste is applied remain white, similar to katazome,
but the big feature of tsutsuzome is that it can express a free style that cannot be done by hand painting.
Whichever technique is used, the subsequent process is the same.
Once the paste dries, dye is applied with a brush.
If it is a single color, it finishes at once, but if multiple colors are layered,
it is like painting a picture, applying each color one by one.
Finally, when the paste is washed off with water,
the pattern finally floats vividly and if dried, it is complete.
In this way, after a long process, one piece of fabric is completed,
and the shape is changed to make name engraving.
Fabric found only here
