Mastering the process Mastering the process

  • Preserved for decades, Kyoto Black uses a proprietary dyeing technique coined "kurozome kakumei" to create a non-toxic, black oxide finish that remains colourfast, and reflects the least amount of light.

  • Achieving depth in colour requires repeated bottoming, where garments are dyed layer upon layer. This labor-intensive method consumes significant amounts of dye. Therefore, the more saturated the black, the more superior in quality.

  • Once reserved for formal attire and ceremonial kimonos known as 'kuro montsuki', deep black dyeing in Japan has long symbolized dignity and refinement. Over time, the culture and tradition has evolved, with a more universal approach that embraces contemporary silhouettes.

Black is timeless.

Black is the colour of eternity.

Kyoto Black represents our deep-rooted partnership with a family of artisans who have spent four generations perfecting the art of black dye.

Since 1915, these textile artisans from Mibu, Kyoto, have elevated the colour black to an art form. Through competition, they developed an ecologically sound formula using natural elements like madder, indigo, tea leaves, and bark to produce a deep and colourfast shade—resistant to fading in the sun and rain.

To bookend the trilogy, we return to Kyoto, where tradition and craft come full circle. From the dye house in Mibu to the sacred grounds atop Mount Higashiyama, we weave parallels between the skilled textile artisans and veteran kendo masters. Both grounded in process and technique, they unite to celebrate the pursuit of mastery in its purest forms.
