Yotsume Dyed Cloth | Name Engraving | Kawari Ichimatsu Naito Color | Neivy

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

All are handmade by craftsmen, so even on the same cloth, each point has its own individuality.
The pattern’s outline may be blurred, or the dyeing method may change.
That "unevenness" creates expressions and warmth that cannot be made digitally.

When it comes to name tags

Speaking of name tags, the mainstream is usually simple and patternless resin products.
However, this name tag is impressive at first glance.
You will surely visit the moment you are praised, "What a wonderful name tag.".

Easy to use

Because there are pockets on the left and right when opened, you can separate your own and your partner’s name tags, or carry two types of name tags freely.
Not only as a name tag, but also as a card holder to organize point cards, it is also active.

Putting thoughts into each one

Making name tags is "Yotsume dyed cloth".
In our dyeing studio, we apply patterns on cloth using traditional Japanese techniques "katazome" and "tsutsukaki",
and create products such as name tags using these as raw materials.

<Katazome>
It starts with making stencil paper from an original drawing.
Place the stencil paper on the cloth, then brush a mixture of rice paste and glue.
The parts where the paste is applied do not get dyed, becoming the white parts of the pattern.

<Tsutsukaki>
Paste is applied by freehand to the cloth.
The parts where the paste is applied remain white, same as katazome,
but the big feature of tsutsukaki is that it can express freehand expressions.

Whichever technique is used, the subsequent process is the same.
After the paste dries, dye is applied with a brush.
If it is a single color, it finishes at once, but if you work with multiple colors,
you dye one color at a time as if painting a picture.

Finally, when the paste is washed off with water, the pattern finally floats up clearly,
and after drying, it is completed.

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

Patterns found only here

All the cloths of "Yotsume dyed cloth" are original.

The "massless flower" pattern used in the name tag is actually a flower pattern born from the imagination of Mr. Yoichi Ono, the creator of "Yotsume dyed cloth." It does not exist in reality, so it is a special design that can only be found here.
