Saijiki Block Printed Blouse

This simple blouse features a slightly longer length and a natural flare toward the hem. Designed for versatility, it can be worn with either side facing front.

Inspired by the five seasonal festivals, this Saijiki Blouse is made from carefully spun khadi fabric. Using the traditional Indian technique of block printing, we have adorned it with patterns of wild strawberries, wisteria, and peppermint. The dyes and woodblocks are all derived from natural sources, ensuring that each piece carries its own unique character—no two are exactly alike. This is the essence of true craftsmanship.

Both the base color and patterns are entirely created through block printing. Skilled artisans meticulously align hand-carved woodblocks and layer the ink multiple times. The more intricate the design, the more time and precision it demands—a process that reflects the depth of Japanese craftsmanship, reaching a level akin to a national treasure. This is the artistry that defines 45R.
