Plant-Dyed, Japanese Paper, Kaya-Ori, Large Stole_2_Sophora Root & Logwood Dye_Bluish-Gray

This is a plant-dyed stole crafted from Japanese paper and kaya-ori. It has been hand-dyed using sophora root (enju) and logwood, both traditional medicinal herbs. The areas dyed with logwood present a bluish-gray hue. Despite its generous size, the overlapping layers of this thin fabric deepen the color. The yellow from the sophora root dye and the bluish-gray are complementary colors, creating a refined aesthetic. Dimensions are 124cm (width) x 181cm (length), weighing 113g. Woven with Japanese paper yarn for the weft and cotton for the warp, it offers an exceptionally soft and fluffy texture. Its excellent absorbency allows for comfortable temperature regulation on even warm days. Lightweight and large, this thin stole is wonderfully versatile, perfect for layering on cooler days or even as a lap blanket. When worn draped over your shoulders, it imparts an ethereal, translucent quality. The way the color appears and the overall mood of the stole can be altered by folding it vertically or horizontally, or by twisting it as you wrap it.
