studio d'artisan | 5686 "kurozome" western shirt
the black denim western shirt by studio d’artisan is made in japan from 8.5oz denim fabric and was “kurozome” hand-dyed by kyoto montsuki company. the history of kurozome black dyeing dates back to a time during the heian period when buddhist priests and samurai wore black garments for formal attire. traditionally, garments were first hand-dyed in either red or indigo, prior to being dyed to the deep black color using a natural pigment extracted from betel nuts (binroji). kurozome involves the base dye being applied many times before being introduced to the black pigment. the process involves these colors being layered over one another in order to achieve the deepest hue of black in the garment. this tedious dyeing process requires the expert skill of kyoto montsuki's craftsmen who individually dye each garment by hand, while subtly adjusting the temperature of the dye bath over time.
