Chizimi Cotton 20/20 Samue Bottom / BORO IV IJ

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 are worn out and then patched up again for reuse...
Clothes that have been made through this process over and over for 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, widening the scope of design expression.
The dyeing machines are made in Japan by Konica Minolta, Inc. The pre-treatment process uses materials that are uniquely mixed by a Kyoto Stencil Yuzen Dyeing factory.
The know-how of Kyoto Stencil Yuzen dyeing techniques that has been cultivated over many years makes it possible to achieve inkjet printing with higher color payoff and recreation ability.
