{"product_id":"hozuai-stole-plum-japanese-cotton-scarf-for-women-plum-bloss","title":"Japanese Cotton Scarf for Women – Plum Blossom Shibori Hand-Dyed Shawl","description":"\u003cp\u003eDyed by Hozuai in Kameoka, Kyoto - the workshop that brought Kyoto's own indigo back after it had been gone for a century.\u003cbr\u003eA 100% cotton stole dyed in hon-ai, true indigo, with baika-shibori - the plum-blossom tie-resist. Each blossom is bound by hand before the cloth goes into the vat, so no two stoles carry the same scatter of flowers. Long enough to wrap twice against air-conditioning, or to fall open over one shoulder.\u003cbr\u003e- Material: 100% cotton\u003cbr\u003e- Indigo \/ method: Kyoho-ai, Kyoto indigo \/ baika-shibori, plum-blossom tie-resist\u003cbr\u003e- Size: 56 cm x 160 cm\u003cbr\u003e- Hand-dyed one piece at a time\u003cbr\u003eThe workshop - Kyoto once had its own water-blue indigo, praised as kyo-asagi. In 1923 it vanished: imported and chemical indigo pushed it out, and what was left of it became known as maboroshi no kyo-ai, the phantom Kyoto indigo.\u003cbr\u003eHozuai went looking for it in Tokushima, the old country of Awa indigo, and met a nineteenth-generation indigo master there. His seed, it turned out, had been carried from Kyoto generations earlier. The seed came home - to Hozu, in Kameoka, on the river of the same name.\u003cbr\u003eThe fields are worked with local farmers on land that had been left fallow. A row house flooded in the 2013 typhoon was rebuilt as the dyeing studio, where more than 1,500 people a year now put their hands into the vat for the first time.\u003cbr\u003eShipped directly from Kyoto, Japan. Packed with care for international delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hozuai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49190818185406,"sku":"HOZUAI-STOLE-PLUM","price":40990.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/9820\/8702\/files\/sg-11134207-8259w-mt6bbtbtih3a5e.jpg?v=1790752100","url":"https:\/\/tambayamamoto.sg\/products\/hozuai-stole-plum-japanese-cotton-scarf-for-women-plum-bloss","provider":"Tamba Yamamoto Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
