Samue - Persimmon Dyed Lounge Suit
 |
| Samue
is the traditional work clothing of a Japanese Zen monk. Made from
cotton and traditionally dyed brown or indigo to distinguish them from
formal vestments, samue are worn by monks performing labour duty such
as temple maintenance and field work. In modern times they have become
popular as general casual or work wear. Shakuhachi(Bamboo flute)
players today, because of the instrument's historical association with
Zen Buddhism, sometimes wear samue. Hearty Hands follow Japanese
traditional textile dying practice using persimmon extract that has
been aged for 2 years. It is dyed several times to achieve the deepness
of colour, that will beautifully fade over time.
Note the bottom of the legs are not elasticized as is shown in photo. |
