When rain falls, leaves and flowers express even deeper colors.
The fabric of this noren, nama-hemp linen, is dyed with very vibrant colors.




It was dyed in a deep, rich hue, just like hydrangeas wet with the plum rain.



About the material

Fabric name: Nama-hemp linen
Both the warp and weft threads use hand-spun ramie yarn.
The unbleached, natural beige and brown colors of ramie are woven in a woodgrain pattern.
This nama-hemp linen has the crispness typical of linen fabric and a textured surface, which, combined with the woodgrain pattern, highlights its natural feel.

●●● Dyeing in daily life ●●●

We want to create works that add an accent to daily life.
We hope that by encountering Yotsume's dyed fabrics, you'll feel refreshed, and your daily life will become a little brighter.




Using dyeing techniques called Katazome (stencil dyeing) and Tsutsugaki (tube drawing)
Most of the processes are done by hand.
Fabrics dyed by hand possess a unique "ambiguity" that machines cannot reproduce.
The outlines of lines may be blurry, or the patterns may be slightly misaligned.
While these are unintentional, the "ambiguity" is somehow interesting and conveys the warmth of human touch.
We aim to create such fabrics.

Tree of Life
The motif of animals symmetrically placed around a single tree can be seen all over the world.
Originating in ancient Persia, this sacred tree bestowed blessings upon animals through its sap,
and has been a beloved symbolic motif as the "Tree of Life" since ancient times.






Colored with persimmon tannin and iron mordant on linen fabric.




The frame is custom-made by Isoroku Seisakusho in Hiroshima.

Please enjoy the warmth and craftsmanship that mass-produced items can never replicate.

Kachu Seagrass Basket Bag L

This is a wonderfully textured natural material bag, meticulously hand-woven by artisans from Kachu (seagrass). It is very carefully made, and its natural feel is truly lovely.



The perfect basket bag for summer outings.

Going out with a parasol also suits the summer scenery well. The flattened stalks are woven alternately in an ajiro (basket-weave) pattern to create a mat of a certain size. From this mat, each bag or basket is formed. Finally, weaving the edges increases the strength of the individual piece.



Carrying a basket and a parasol also suits the summer scenery well. It goes well with casual styles and yukata.



Also great as a shopping basket.



This bag would surely be appreciated as a gift.



The handle is sturdy.




It has a rectangular base and can stand on its own.
