/Oshima Tsumugi/
Along with Persian carpets, Gobelin tapestries and Oshima Tsumugi silk pongee is
one of the world's three great textiles.
Its historical record can be traced back to the Nara period, 1,300 years ago,
and the textile is still produced in various locations in Oshima island (one of Amami islands) in Kagoshima pref.
It is recognized as “Authentic Amami Oshima Tsumugi.”
The unique dying method uses the Amami's iron-rich natural mud as a dye.
This makes the silk threads into beautiful and luminous black.
After being taken off the loom, each plain weave textile has a unique and
detailed graphical pattern made of over a million dots dyed onto each single silk thread before they are set onto the loom.
It takes more than six months to produce the final product through over 40 processes. Authentic Amami Oshima Tsumugi has unique features distinctive from any other textile.
Just put it on your tees/another shirt, it’ll be simply aesthetic yet eye catching,
a wearable Japanese historical art.
One-of-a-kind.
Zen attitude, eco friendly, next level casualness and
something different.
Timelessly cool for daily use, vacation and your special occasion.
