Having celebrated over a hundred years since its founding, Nagaita Honzome, Chugata Chusen, and Aizome are in a state where the number of factories and artisans is limited. However, they are continuing to pass on the yukata dyeing techniques that their predecessors have devised and refined. These are exceptional yukata that are not mass-produced.

There is possible discoloration or staining on the selvedge.
There may be uneven dyeing due to the Honzome (authentic dyeing) process.

"Sansho" has remained committed to traditional dyeing techniques, all done by hand, without compromise, even during the era when chemical dyes and new dyeing methods were popular for rationally producing kimonos.

For Nagaita Chugata dyeing, Sansho employs the "Nagaita Chugata" technique.
It takes twice as much effort as Komon (small pattern kimono), according to the Living National Treasure, Sachi Shimizu.
Its delicate and refined beauty is truly the essence of Edo chic.
