Top quality Akane-dyed stole

Japanese Akane is one of the oldest enduring dyes in Japan, along with indigo, and Akane plants were recently discovered growing wild in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture. They have since then been cultivated and made widely available.

Woven from the finest silks from a weaver in Nishijin, Kyoto, this stole is of the highest quality and uses fabrics that are difficult to manufacture, making it a rare and limited-stock piece of artwork.
