This shirt features sashiko fabric coated with sumi pigment.
A used wash finish creates fading, which, combined with the textured weave of sashiko, results in a deep and rich color.
The heavyweight fabric allows it to be worn year-round as a shirt jacket.
Natural nut buttons are used, adding further character to the material.
SUMI
JAPANESE INK
Sumi dyeing is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique in which fabric is dyed using ink made primarily from pine soot.
Sumi is also a symbolic element in the worlds of ink painting and calligraphy, and has long been deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
In Japan, black is not merely a color, but has been regarded as a special color embodying nobility, solemnity, and formality.
This black, carrying a quiet strength and elegance, has captivated people throughout history.
Sumi is also said to have aromatic and calming effects.
Additionally, it is believed to provide UV protection and deodorizing properties, offering practical benefits rooted in traditional knowledge.
The appeal of sumi dyeing lies not in a uniform black, but in the depth created by its unique uneven texture.
As it is worn over time, its appearance changes, evolving into a personal color that reflects the wearer’s lifestyle.
This is the unique charm of sumi dyeing—a traditional technique that continues to resonate today.
