What is Botanical Dye?
Botanical dye is a unique Japanese dyeing technique that adapts traditional plant-based dyeing (kusaki-zome) to suit modern lifestyles.
Unlike conventional methods, it does not use mordants. Instead, a small amount of safe synthetic dye is blended with natural pigments—making it both colorfast and washable in a modern washing machine. It’s a Japanese innovation that harmonizes tradition and practicality.
Botanical dye carries within it the concentrated energy of plants that live in harmony with nature.
Plant-based dyeing has existed since ancient times—even before recorded history. People understood that tannins and polyphenols had antibacterial and deodorizing properties, and they used dyeing to help protect themselves from disease-causing bacteria. Through this, they gained not only color but also the energy of plants—energy that could solve problems or block negative influences.

In daily life, whether it’s work or relationships, we face all kinds of challenges. Of course, it's important to have the energy to solve those problems—but sometimes, it’s even more powerful to quietly wrap ourselves in fabric dyed again and again with the rhythm of nature. This can sharpen our sense of coexistence with the natural world—and that, I believe, leads us to a brighter future.
So—what do you think?
