Kakishibu, made from unripe persimmons that are pressed and fermented, contains tannins that offer waterproofing and preservative qualities to fibers and wood. Recent studies have even reported antiviral effects, with kakishibu components helping to inactivate the novel coronavirus. The “kakishibu dyeing” process involves soaking pure white bags in kakishibu liquid and then drying them in the sun repeatedly to create a deep, unique color. This traditional method also gives the fabric a stiffness and durability. “Kure-zome” is a technique where fabric dyed with kakishibu is further treated with iron-rich water to turn it black. This method was used historically to reduce color fading and enhance fabric strength before industrial products were available. Kakishibu dyeing, which originates from nature and returns to it, represents a new form of sustainable practice suited to modern needs. This series celebrates the value of ancient techniques while discovering new relevance. Special Site: The Newspaper Bag (L) features a large main compartment suitable for storing documents or a change of clothes, making it ideal for everyday use or short trips. Inspired by bags used by newspaper delivery men in early 20th-century America, this item offers both shoulder and hand-carry options. The flap can be adjusted in two stages depending on the amount of contents. Note on Product Dyeing: This series uses a traditional dyeing technique involving natural plants. The natural color variations and depth may change over time due to environmental conditions and climate. Additionally, the natural dyeing process imparts a distinct scent. Please appreciate these unique characteristics as part of the product’s charm. This product is dyed by “Oomae Co., Ltd.” in Notogawa Town, Shiga Prefecture, using traditional kakishibu dyeing techniques honed over 40 years.
