"Chusen" is a dyeing technique that originated in Osaka during the Meiji period. Since it is dyed twice from both the front and back, it is characterized by beautiful, even dyeing on both sides. Because all steps of the many processes are performed manually by craftsmen, no two are exactly alike. You can enjoy the unique texture that only handcraftsmanship can provide. The colors become softer with each wash, and the fabric becomes more comfortable to the touch.
