TSURIAMI ZEN WEAR (SAMUE)
In Wakayama, Japan, there exists a place of miracles, Kōyasan, where the teachings of Kōbō-Daishi (Kōbō the Great) have endured for over 1,250 years. The area remains a vibrant center for the Shingon sect of Buddhism, with its rich history and profound connection to the past.
Within Wakayama, a unique machine still exists: the old-style tsuriami knitting machine, which can craft sweat fabric with a vintage texture, a rarity in the world today.
After World War II, as economies around the world grew, manufacturers in Japan and other countries sought to speed up production through advanced knitting machines. These machines were designed to produce fabric quickly and efficiently, marking the shift toward mass production. However, the old tsuriami machines work in stark contrast to these developments. With a production rate of only about 4 meters per hour, they create a fabric with a distinctive beauty and softness that modern machines cannot replicate.
The fabric produced by these vintage tsuriami machines improves with each wear and wash, developing a unique texture that can only be described as "vintage."
Using this ultimate vintage sweat fabric, we have created the TSURIAMI ZEN WEAR (SAMUE). This new fusion of tsuriami knitting and the traditional Zen Wear (SAMUE) brings an entirely new dimension to the world of clothing, offering timeless comfort, exceptional quality, and a sense of enduring craftsmanship.

*Please note:
This is my favorite shirt for day to day use at the office. It is very soft and has no flashy details. The blue tone is very light (which I prefer). I use it with a navy suit and tie or with a navy chinos. I also need to give credit for the shipping. I ordered it to Norway on a Thursday and it was delivered on Monday. Will order again.
6 button front is the correct number of buttons for an American button down shirt. The previous review is incorrect and should be ignored.
Hard to find a wide blade knit tie like this. It's absolutely beautiful and goes great with a navy blazer.
Another excellent shirt from Kamakura! The fit and finish of this OCBD is outstanding. It’s difficult to find men’s shirts in ecru. Few shirtmakers (in the USA) offer this color.
Shipping was fast. A pleasant buying experience.
Thank you!
I was looking for a jeans with a wider cut than my old slim fit jeans which I am now tired of. The Ivy 5 pocket is the ideal cut for me, it is straight and roomy without being baggy. After the first whash it shrank about 1/2 inch at the which I counted on, now it fits perfectly.
