Vintage Japanese cotton. Hand loomed.

Hand dipped in natural / botanical indigo. Very deep and rich.

It was once part of a garment taken apart for reuse. There is a split into one edge half way down the length. This would have helped make the collar of the garment. Choose the full length or half length cut at the split.

Aizome, Japanese indigo cotton, is highly regarded and collected within Japan and across the world.

‘Ai’ (藍) means indigo and ‘some’ (染め) means dyeing. As a compound, 藍染め, is pronounced ‘aizome’ (ai-zo-me).

Deep shades of rich blue are produced with repeated immersion and airing. The deeper the blue, the higher the number of dips and the higher the value.
