The charm of sashiko-ori is sashiko and sashiko-ori

“Sashiko” Laying fabrics and embroidering them by hand In the olden days, when cloth was a valuable item, layers of fabric were embroidered to protect against the cold and for reinforcement. As decorations, patterns with wishes and prayers are sometimes applied. Also, in the Edo period, it was used as a firefighter's costume because it is a durable fabric.
Even today, it is popular as a handicraft that combines traditional patterns on dish towels and colorful fabrics and threads.

“Sashiko weave” Woven with a loom to create the texture of sashiko It is a fabric woven with a pattern that floats the warp threads like sashiko. Thanks to the development of looms, it became possible to create a durable material with uneven surfaces, and it is now used as a material for judo and kendo uniforms.

Indigo-dyed sashiko weave is also attractive Deep colors with a vintage feel

If you look closely at the surface of the fabric, there are dark and thin areas.
One of the things that makes it possible to create such an expression is that it is indigo dyeing. When indigo is exposed to air, it oxidizes and turns indigo.
Another reason is that it is skein dyed. The skein dyeing method is a repetition of dyeing and loosening by hand. And you can dye dark to the core of the thread. Both the uneven feeling unique to manual work and the characteristic that the indigo dye turns indigo when exposed to air are absolutely necessary.
Furthermore, when the shades stand out due to the washing process, you can feel even more depth in combination with the unevenness. It gives a deep color that looks like it has been used.

Focus on overseas brands

We also receive orders for our indigo sashiko weave from overseas brands. I love the unique colors and texture. In 2020, we will collaborate with Belgian historical hat brand HERMAN Hermann. Hanyu City in Saitama Prefecture and Durbuy in Belgium are sister cities, so we had a wonderful relationship.
For several years now, a fabric shop in London has been handling our fabrics. We are very happy to be able to deliver Japanese materials from our factory in Hanyu, Saitama Prefecture to people who love handmade products around the world.
