Shiro-Oshima is characterized by the use of white mud containing a large amount of kaolin, which is also used to form white porcelain, and other dyes to dye silk threads.
The platinum-like luster and the intricate rubbed patterns unique to Oshima silk show the handiwork in pursuit of beauty.
By selecting old handmade fabrics with a one-color kasuri pattern as much as possible, we aimed to create a high-quality piece that allows the wearer to appreciate the noble kasuri pattern that is inherent to Shiro-Oshima.
The white Oshima we seek is especially rare, so we dare to incorporate vintage markings into our tailoring.
