Collection: Cherry blossom dyeing

The branches used for Sakurazome are taken just before the flowers bloom, just before spring. No chemical dyes are used. Instead, pruned twigs, mainly from wild cherry trees and Yoshino cherry trees, are collected and dyed one by one carefully by hand or with a drum using the red dye extracted by boiling down the brown bark of the cherry trees. Environmentally friendly tanned leather and other materials are dyed with drum dyeing or brush dyeing, resulting in a soft texture and gentle colors.
