It is a name tag made using traditional technique "katazome" dyeing on cloth.

This "unevenness" brings out expressions and warmth that cannot be created digitally.

The charm of the name tag

Speaking of name tags, the mainstream is simple laser-made ones without texture.
However, this name tag makes a strong impression at first glance.
You will surely be visited by the moment when you are complimented with "It's a wonderful name tag."

Easy to use

Since there are pockets on the left and right when opened, you can separate your own and the other person's name tags, carry two types of name tags, and use them freely and flexibly.
Not only as a name tag, but also as a card holder that organizes point cards.

Putting thoughts into each one

Making name tags is done with "Yotsume dyeing cloth".
In our dyeing studio, using Japan's traditional techniques "katazome" and "tsutsumikaki," patterns are applied to cloth, and products such as name tags are created using these as raw materials.

It starts with making stencil paper using original design drawings.
The stencil paper is placed on the cloth, and paste made by mixing rice flour and glue is brushed on.
The parts where the paste is applied do not get dyed and become the white parts of the pattern.

Paste is applied with a free hand like tying raw cream.
The parts where the paste is applied remain white, similar to katazome,
but the big feature of tsutsumikaki is that it can express freedom unlike hand painting.

Regardless of which technique is used, the subsequent process is the same.
Once the paste is dried, dye is applied with a brush.
If it is a single color, it is finished at once, but if multiple colors are layered,
it is like painting a picture, applying each color one by one.

Finally, when the paste is washed off with water, the pattern floats out clearly and drying completes.

In this way, after a long process, one cloth is completed, and the shape changes into a name tag.
