"Chusen" is a dyeing technique developed in Osaka during the Meiji period. Since it is dyed twice from both the front and back, it is characterized by beautiful dyeing with no front or back. As all processes are performed by skilled craftsmen by hand, no two items are exactly alike. You can enjoy the unique texture that only handwork can provide. With each wash, the colors become softer and the fabric becomes more pleasant to the touch.
