About persimmon tannin dyeing
Japan's traditional persimmon tannin dyeing is a natural dye made by fermenting the juice of persimmons. The thread is soaked in this solution, dyed, washed, and dried, a process that is carefully repeated many times to achieve the beautiful persimmon tannin color. The main component of the color is persimmon tannin, which reacts with various other components to create a deep color. However, it can also be broken down by light and heat, causing the color to fade. In other words, when you wash persimmon tannin for the first time in your daily life, the color will deepen as it reacts with water and detergent. Then, after repeated washing and drying, at some point the color will begin to fade (lighten). Japanese people have enjoyed watching this change in color since ancient times. Fading and changes in color are completely natural, and are proof that natural materials are used. With these characteristics,
Persimmon tannin dyeing does not transfer color, so there is no need to worry about staining other clothes when washing. It is also resistant to friction and is an environmentally friendly dyeing method. It is gaining attention as a method.
Enjoy the change of color
Traditional Japanese persimmon tannin dyeing is a natural dye made from fermented persimmon juice. Threads are soaked in this liquid, then dyed, washed, and dried, carefully and repeatedly until they achieve a beautiful persimmon hue. This persimmon tannin has the property of darkening colors by reacting with various components. It also has the property of lightening colors as it breaks down in the presence of light and heat. When an item is washed for the first time in daily life, the persimmon tannin reacts with the components in the water and detergent, causing it to darken. After repeated washing and drying, the color suddenly changes and fades (this kind of color change itself has been enjoyed by Japanese people since ancient times). The appearance and change of color is completely natural, and is a sign that natural materials are being used.
With these characteristics, persimmon tannins do not prioritize color, so there is no need to worry about staining other clothes when washing. They are also resistant to friction and are durable. They are attracting attention as an environmentally friendly dye.
