Deluxe Aizome Cotton Samue
Made in Japan
Material: 100% Cotton
Color: Traditional Aizome
Size: M, L, LLAizome (Indigo) Deluxe Samue, 100% cotton, made in Japan. The jacket features one pocket on the right side, opening on left and right sides for better comfort, and Kimono like wide cuffs. The pants feature an elastic waistband and straps, a zipper, two pockets, and elastic bands on the hems.
Aizome is probably the most well known Japanese traditional dye, often called "Japan blue" in the West, this is where the association between Japan and the indigo blue color comes from. Used for various products, from Samue to martial arts equipment, as well as for tenugui, towels, bags, and many other items. Although Aizome production has been largely absorbed by Chinese manufacturers, especially for fashion clothes (and of course, denim), all products offered by Seido are made with genuine Japanese Aizome.
For this Samue, the dye is called "Hon Aizome", which translates to "Genuine Aizome" in English.
Aizome is a natural dye that significantly bleed, so please make sure you know what you are purchasing or check our blog article in details before proceeding. Aizome - Japanese Indigo on Martial Arts EquipmentThis model is one of the oldest and best selling of our partner workshop. With a production of about 50 pieces a years, over 1600 pieces have been sold since its creation 3 decades ago.
Given the relatively small production of the workshop, please allow about 1 month for production.The Samue is a garment that has many uses. Traditionally worn by monks in Zen Buddhist temples, artists, or even by doctors, it is also widely worn as home wear and in Ryokan (traditional hotel), or at Onsen (hot spring). It is also found among players of the original Zen instrument, the Shakuhachi (traditional flute). In recent years, it has become more and more popular to wear the Samue outside of the privacy of ones' home, as it is a particularly comfortable informal clothing. Just like Jinbei, Samue is worn without a belt.
