Mud dyed brown shawl collar kimono coat

Large Mud dyed (doro zome) brown shawl collar kimono coat by Taiga Takahashi with two side pockets. Partially lined.

Mud dyeing is a traditional dyeing technique that has been handed down for 1,300 years on the subtropical island of Amami Oshima, which is also a World Heritage Site. The iron in the mud and the tannic acid in the techee wood combine to produce a beautiful deep brown colour with a unique sheen.
