This is the "LUGGAGE LABEL / OLDNEW" series that uses the traditional dyeing method "Kakishibu dyeing". Since ancient times, persimmons have been used as dyes, chemicals, and building materials. The tannin contained in "Kakishibu", which is made by pressing and fermenting unripe green persimmons, has the effect of waterproofing and preserving fibers and wood. Recent studies have also reported that candy and fibers containing persimmon tannin have an antiviral effect that inactivates the new coronavirus. "Kakishibu-zome" is a technique in which a pure white bag is soaked one by one in persimmon juice and dried in the sun by skilled craftsmen. The persimmon tannin is dyed using an old-fashioned manufacturing method, which gives the fabric firmness and durability. “Kure-zome” is a dyeing technique that turns the base dyed with persimmon tannin black by mordanting it with iron-containing water. In the days when there were no industrial products, this method was used to make the fabric resistant to fading and increase the strength of the fabric. Kakishibu dyeing, which is born from nature and returns to nature as it is, is a new form of circulation that is necessary in the present age. It is a bag that seeks out superior ancient technology and finds new value from it.
