The "sobachoko," a vessel that has been cherished since the early Edo period. The indigo-dyed patterns on its simple shape were diverse and varied. This stylish noren is dyed with "Kasanetsome" (layered dyeing) using "sobachoko" motifs. "Aizome" (indigo dyeing), with its vivid and deep colors, is a dyeing technique using the plant-derived dye "indigo," and is said to have "detoxifying, sterilizing, and anti-inflammatory effects" in addition to dyeing fabric. "Kakishibu dye" (persimmon tannin dye), made from unripe green persimmons and aged over many years, has "high waterproof, preservative, and insect repellent effects" and has been used for many purposes since ancient times. Kyoto artisans layered "kakishibu dye" after applying "aizome" to create a deeper, antique cloth-like texture. The fabric is a "kawariori" (change weave) with a loose weave that is soft and fits comfortably in the hand.
*Please note that our aizome is indigo dyeing using indigo, not true indigo dyeing.
