About the Craft (Dorozome & Aizome)
Rooted in over 1,300 years of tradition on Amami Oshima island, the rich dark tones are created through an intricate natural process using local plant extracts and mineral-dense soil. Combined with deep natural indigo dyeing, this coat offers extraordinary depth, subtle color nuance, and a unique texture that synthetic dyes cannot replicate.

Care Instructions
Machine washable (gentle cycle recommended). However, as this item is hand-dyed with natural dyes, please observe the following guidelines:
• Wash Separately: Wash individually from other items, especially during the first few washes, to prevent color bleeding.
• Detergent: Use neutral detergent or detergent free of fluorescent whitening agents and bleach.
• Drying: May shrink slightly after washing. Reshape and line dry in shade away from direct sunlight or strong light to prevent discoloration. Do NOT tumble dry.
• Moisture & Friction: Do not leave wet for extended periods. Sweat, rain, or friction may cause color transfer to light-colored garments.
• Ironing: Warm iron with a pressing cloth when needed.
• Aging: Colors will naturally and gracefully soften over time with repeated washing and wear.
*Please Note: Due to the 100% manual dyeing process, each piece is unique and slight variations in color tone and precise measurements may occur compared to the images.
