Traditional Japanese sashiko cloth used for kendo wear is finished with plant indigo dyeing craft, and the unevenness of the surface creates subtle shadows, resulting in a characteristic indigo blue. The natural striped pattern and unevenness are unique. In addition, the unique fabric that sews two types of sashiko weaves, diamond pattern and grain, into one fabric is attractive. Because it is embroidered with fine threads, it is very strong and firm, yet still retains the original softness of the fabric. When you roll up the sleeves, you can see the patchwork design of modern white plum blossoms, which is one of the accents.

[Artisan plant indigo dyeing]
Indigo is a natural dye made from plants. The leaves of the plant are dried, and the leaves are fermented and aged for over 100 days to create sukumo, which is used for dyeing. Sukumo is the base of indigo dyeing, but since it does not dissolve in water as it is, it is fermented with lye, lime, and sake to create a dye solution. The cloth is dipped in the dye solution, taken out, and exposed to the air, repeating this process over and over again until the desired color is achieved little by little.
