The material is exceptionally durable, yet surprisingly light and soft despite its heavy, textured appearance. It is dyed using Amami Dorozome, a traditional mud-dyeing technique from Amami Oshima that uses only natural materials. The result is a deep, earthy color with a quiet strength—something that can’t be achieved with synthetic dyes. Finished with natural nut buttons.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 4\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 7\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmami Dorozome (mud dyeing) is an ancient dyeing technique rooted in the culture of Amami Ōshima, a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esouthern island of Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile its exact origins remain unclear, historical records from as far back as the Nara period (over 1,300 years ago) mention that brown-toned silk fabrics were offered to temples in the capital, believed to have come from southern islands like Amami.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis traditional method uses dye extracted from the Techiki tree (sharinbai=wheel plum tree), a native plant that takes 10 to 30 years to mature. The yarn or fabric is repeatedly soaked in the tree’s boiled extract and then immersed in the island’s rich, iron-laden mud—formed by geological layers dating back 1.5 million years. This cycle is repeated many times to fix the color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRelying entirely on the island’s natural resources—without any chemical dyes—Amami mud dyeing produces soft, earthy, and deeply complex tones.
