Indigo Fushicho Skirt

This skirt, with its generous gathers, features an easy-to-wear elastic waistband for comfort. It has a soft, fluffy volume while maintaining a clean and flattering silhouette—making it the perfect, well-balanced skirt for any occasion.

The fabric, Tappet Damp, is made using indigo-dyed warp and weft threads woven into a dense, high-quality textile. Combining crisp structure with a soft drape, it showcases a vibrant and striking blue that stands out beautifully in the chill of winter.

The design illustrates the story of a phoenix—resting with its wings folded and soaring with its wings spread wide. In the wake of its flight, a garden of flowers blooms, forming a mandala-like tapestry reminiscent of a utopian paradise. This imagery is expressed through a blend of discharge printing and overprinting techniques, enriched with the textured, hand-drawn style of a skilled artisan. This skirt is a testament to 45R’s dedication to Japanese craftsmanship and the art of textile storytelling.
