Interwoven persimmon tannin purse / large, medium, small, card case Persimmon tannin dyeing The juice of green persimmons is crushed, squeezed out, and fermented and aged to make kashibu. The tannins contained in persimmon tannins have high waterproofing, preservative, insect repellent, and durability-enhancing properties, and have long been used as dyes and paints for everyday items such as fishing nets, Japanese umbrellas, furniture, stencils, sake bags, and fans. Green persimmon juice is light green, but if you leave it to ferment and rest, it will gradually turn a dark brown. Our shop’s proud kakishibu dyeing is made by dipping threads in this persimmon tannin liquid many times and dyeing them. Another charm of kakishibu is that you can enjoy many different expressions (dyeing results) depending on the environment, such as the season, temperature, and humidity. In addition, weaving using two or more different types of threads for the warp and weft is called interwoven weaving.
Pre-dyed Our persimmon tannin fabric is woven using the pre-dyed method. The thread is repeatedly soaked in persimmon juice and then dried, and the dyed thread is then woven into fabric, which is then used to make the product. The entire thread is dyed, so the dye penetrates all the way through to the fabric, resulting in a truly tasteful color. Material: 100% cotton (yarn-dyed), 100% domestic (manufactured and managed in the Banshu region)
