These Sanu Kinchaku bags feature a Tai Fish design, a traditional Japanese symbol of celebration and good fortune. Each bag is hand dyed in Japan using the nori-zome dyeing technique.
Nori-zome is a dyeing technique that utilizes rice paste to create intricate designs. By applying the paste to the cloth, artisans block out specific patterns. When the fabric is dyed, the protected areas remain the original color of the cloth, resulting in sharp, detailed imagery.
With a legacy spanning over 200 years, Okawahara preserves the ancient nori-zome technique to honor the traditional dyeing culture of Kagawa Prefecture. By blending this meticulous craftsmanship with modern innovation, they continue to produce vibrant, high quality pieces that bring Japanese heritage into the contemporary world.
