They differ from professional techniques. While we strive for accuracy, our products may not be perfect compared to mass-produced or professionally made items. We ask for your understanding and purchase with the appreciation of the craftsmanship passed down from mother to child. ※About payment.

Please pay attention to the following points when caring for and using them. Friction or moisture may cause color transfer or fading. Be careful of color transfer when wearing or using light-colored clothing or bags. Using dark-colored clothing or bags together may make color transfer less noticeable. Dark colors, in particular, are prone to fading, so we recommend washing them once before wearing. When washing, we recommend hand washing separately from other clothes. If using a washing machine, use a neutral detergent, place the item in a laundry net, and wash on a gentle cycle separately from other clothes. However, machine washing may accelerate fabric damage and color fading. Avoid using a dryer and dry in the shade. ・About sizing. For fabric products, we may use yarn sized with rice paste, which will typically wash out after about two washes. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
