It is expressed using traditional dyeing techniques (chusen), characterized by a strong and distinctive design.
Using soft silk material, it is gentle on the skin and becomes more harmonious the more it is used.
As handwoven fabric and platform woven fabric, it is also active in various scenes such as scarves, interior accents, and gift wrapping. It is also recommended as a slight souvenir or handicraft.
Continuous craft of craftsmen from the Meiji era: "Chusen" dyeing technique
Kamafun's handwoven fabric has been made using Japan's unique dyeing technique called "chusen" since the Meiji era. By placing a resist paste and dyeing all at once, it is characterized by being reversible and usable without a lining.
Due to the production process centered on handwork, subtle “play” occurs in the colors and patterns, and the harmony changes the more it is used. Each piece grows into a unique existence that has a mutual relationship like a pair of rivals, never identical.
