Jp En


Wabisuke is a group of handicraftsmen in Kyoto who offer a new type of Japanese brand that matches the modern life style taking traditional Kaga colors (the five colors of Kutani Ware) or traditional handicraft techniques (Kutani Ware, Yamanaka Lacquer ware and Kaga Dyeing) as their motifs. Their first released items are the bengara (iron rust) dyed, indigo dyed and lacquered Converse sneakers, all of which are processed by hand. As the second, they have just released the Kutani Othello Game. Each item reflects the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic of Japanese tradition, creating the feeling of tranquility regardless of the current fashion trend. The characteristic of Wabisuke’s dyeing is that they use Japanese traditional colors and natural dyestuff and pigments so that the color shade in nature is transformed into textile. So, the longer you use it, the more natural the color becomes.
