Japanese Linen Scarf for Women – Indigo Check Hand-Dyed Shawl

¥40,990
Shipping calculated at checkout.

For centuries Kyoto dyed cloth in a water-indigo called Kyo-asagi — until it vanished in 1923. A family workshop in Kameoka revived it as Kyoho-ai, and dyes every piece by hand, one at a time.
This 100% linen stole is dyed in Ryukyu natural indigo using itajime — the traditional board-clamp shibori technique. Squares of white are pressed out of the deep Japan Blue, creating a soft hand-made check that no printed fabric can imitate. Light, breathable linen makes it perfect for air-conditioned rooms and tropical evenings alike — and because every stole is clamped and dipped by hand, yours is one of a kind.
• 100% linen • Ryukyu natural indigo, itajime board-clamp shibori • 60 × 154 cm with fringe • Hand-dyed in Kameoka, Kyoto • One of a kind • Ships direct from Japan — an elegant gift for someone who has everything.
