Mud dyed brown shawl collar kimono coat

by Taiga Takahashi

Large Mud dyed (doro zome) brown shawl collar kimono coat by Taiga Takahashi with two side pockets. Partially lined.

Mud dyeing is a traditional dyeing technique that has been handed down for 1,300 years on the subtropical island of Amami Oshima, which is also a World Heritage Site. The iron in the mud and the tannic acid in the techee wood combine to produce a beautiful deep brown colour with a unique sheen.
