Description

Kunisawa's sumi-zome fabric is carefully woven on a shuttle loom that doesn't strain the threads. The high-density weave makes the fabric very durable. You can enjoy the fabric's natural texture and color over the years, as it ages beautifully. A technique called "sumi-zome" is used to dye the fabric with binchotan charcoal. It has a stunning texture, similar to that of Japanese washi paper, and is soft to the touch due to the special charcoal dyeing method. Charcoal dyeing is one of the traditional techniques recorded in the traditional Japanese poem "The Hundred Poems of a Hundred Poets," compiled in the Kamakura period nearly 750 years ago. Elegant cardboard box size: 120 mm x 80 mm x 25 mm. Materials: Sailcloth made in Japan.

    I was very happy to see Araujo & Sobrinho reopened and with excellent quality materials. Returning to the store brought back many memories from my student days. It's a landmark store and deserves to continue this beautiful tradition.
