What is “BORO”?
The story dates back to more than 100 years ago, when fabric was a valuable commodity in the Meiji Era.
The kimonos, work kimono, underwear, and even bedding used by common people were used until they were worn out, then patched up again for reuse...
Clothes that have been made through this process repeatedly over decades, or even hundreds of years, are called BORO.
Today, the value and appeal of BORO as art are recognized around the world.

【About Inkjet Dyeing】
A distinctive feature of inkjet dyeing is that there is almost no limit to the colors that can be reproduced, expanding the range of design expression.
The pre-treatment process uses specially blended materials developed by a Kyoto Stencil Yuzen dyeing factory.
【About Chizimi Cotton】
・A cotton crepe fabric produced in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture since the Edo period, using strongly twisted yarn in the weft to create a textured surface and crisp feel.
・The crepe texture reduces the area that touches the skin, allowing sweat to be absorbed in points and dispersed across the surface, with a perceived cooling effect of approximately -2°C.
・Excellent performances in Sweat absorbing · Quick drying · Air permeability · Hygroscopicity · Moisture release.
・Takashima chizimi cotton, which has benefited from the natural resources of Lake Biwa, boasts the highest production in Japan.

When dyeing Chizimi Cotton, color may not fully penetrate into the deeper crepe texture of the fabric.
