This Oxford shirt is dyed using cherry blossoms from Daigo-ji Temple in Kyoto, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. The pink warp threads are dyed with color extracted from these cherry blossoms.
About the “Daigo-ji Cherry Blossoms” Known since the Heian period as a prime cherry blossom viewing spot, Daigo-ji is home to around 700 cherry trees, including weeping cherry, Somei Yoshino, wild cherry, and double-flowered varieties. It is also famously associated with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who held an extravagant cherry blossom viewing party here in his later years—an event known as “Daigo no Hanami.”
What is Botanical Dye? Botanical dye is an evolved form of traditional Japanese plant dyeing techniques. As the name suggests—“botanical” (plants) and “dye”—this method uses color extracted from various natural sources such as plants, flowers, and nuts to dye materials like cotton and wool.
Unlike conventional plant dyeing, which typically uses only about 20% natural dye and relies heavily on chemicals for color fixation, botanical dye employs a special adhesive to bind natural ingredients directly to the fibers. This allows the dye to maintain over 60% natural content, making it a more environmentally and human-friendly dyeing method.
Additionally, since a single plant can contain over 100 pigment components, the resulting colors have a richness and depth that cannot be achieved with synthetic dyes—one of the key appeals of botanical dye products.

It isn't easy to find a fine-gauge cotton sweater, and this one is great. My husband and I (F) both bought multiple sweaters. The fit is relaxed like in the picture, and the waistband allows you to cinch it higher on your hips.
Pros:
- The color for the green and navy sweaters was exactly as shown
- It really does resist odors
Cons:
- The description says to hang dry after washing, in our experience this caused the sweater to stretch. I would suggest drying flat instead.
- There was some variation in the actual size of the garment, the navy we received was smaller than the green.
Wonderful quality as always from Kamakura, with the amazing attention to detail the Vintage Ivy collection is renowned for. A true classic and sure to become a staple of my winter and autumn wardrobe.
I recently picked up the French Work Jacket Kamakura and I'm very impressed. The quality is excellent, and the fit is spot-on—it has that perfect slightly baggy, relaxed workwear silhouette. Highly recommend for a comfortable and stylish jacket!
