Our Commitment to Quality Ingredients
We use cotton that has been cultivated on land that has never been treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers, with every step—from tilling the soil to planting and harvesting—done entirely by hand. The cotton is then spun into yarn by hand using a spinning wheel. Hand-spun yarn is hollow inside, which gives it excellent heat retention and the ability to absorb moisture effectively. About Hand-Spun Yarn
About Indigo Dyeing
We create a dye bath by re-fermenting “sumi” (a raw material made by fermenting indigo leaves into a compost-like substance) using only lye made from hardwood ash and water, and dye the fabric using the traditional Japanese indigo dyeing method (Shō-ai-zome). Traditional Japanese indigo dyeing, which has been passed down continuously since ancient times, is characterized by its antibacterial, insect-repellent, and far-infrared properties; furthermore, when performed by skilled artisans, the fabric does not fade or bleed.
Excellent UV protection without any processing
Unlike machine-spun yarn, hand-spun yarn retains the texture of the raw wool. This is why it offers a UV protection rate of 85–95% or higher. Furthermore, because it is untreated, its UV-protective properties remain effective even after washing. The synergistic effect of the material and genuine indigo dyeing makes this garment a protective layer for your skin.
