By carefully dyeing each block, we create a depth and warmth that cannot be expressed through a simple print.
The attention to detail has been paid to bring out the beauty of Japanese culture. Every time you use it, you can feel the meaning of Japanese beautiful craftsmanship and traditional patterns.
