Regular price $110.00Kenchoji × Hydrangea Botanical T-Shirt
Please note: This item runs smaller than standard sizing.
We recommend choosing one size larger than your usual fit.
This 100% cotton botanical-dyed T-shirt is crafted from soft, gentle fabric and dyed using natural dye extracted from hydrangeas carefully harvested at Kenchoji, the leading temple of the Five Great Zen Temples of Kamakura. The dyeing process uses a unique Botanical Dye technique—an evolution of traditional Japanese plant dyeing—which preserves over 60% of the natural components, resulting in deep, organic hues.
A double-name tag featuring Kenchoji and Kamakura Shirts is sewn at the lower left hem, making this a truly special piece.

Shipping was a nightmare and it's not true to size at all. The chest is too tight and the waist too loose.. but I checked carefully against garment sizes comparing to the RL shirts I own so I am very surprised. I won't buy this brand again.
Normally, I’d spend some time with the product before reviewing its attributes, but I felt it safe to comment on some of the finer points. First, the shirt right out of packaging, went onto the ironing board. This shirt is a dream to iron, and takes very little effort to remove creases. Understanding that this is a washable wool; in other words, the wool has been ‘superwashed’; there are positives and negatives to consider in this processing, but in this case, it has allowed for a material to produce a sheen, unlike that of untreated wool. The shirt, drapes, beautifully, and the Tokyo fit is a nearly a tailored finish for my frame. I think these shirts will be all-around ideal for all seasons except for the summer, and for travel; with changing temperature conditions, will be optimal.
