Japan Akane Dyed Silk Stole, Silk Blend Stole, Cotton Stole Slab Gauze

Japanese Akane, along with indigo, is one of the oldest dyes in Japan, and an important part of ancient Japanese culture. Akane is a dye made from roots, which grow wild in Miyoshi City. With repeated soaking, the dye will darken and can achieve a variety of shades by adjusting the temperature of the solution: pink and orange are common, but it is difficult to achieve the exact same shade twice. Our natural dyes are gentle on the skin and used to color silks, cotton, hemp, bamboo fibres, leather, etc, and create handkerchiefs and stoles. We also offer leather key chains and other items.
