Ask a question
Width: 36cm / 14". Length: 1.37 meters / 53.9".
Vintage Japanese cotton. Hand dipped in natural botanical indigo. Light and soft.
There are areas, particularly at the edges, that appear faded which adds a beautiful originality to the solid indigo. There is one red stamp of the maker at the end.
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.
