Regular price $190.00Kyoto Store & Online Exclusive – Botanical Dye (Sakura) Linen Shirt
Product Details
A beautifully soft pink linen shirt, dyed using cherry blossoms from Taizoin Temple in Kyoto, is now available as a limited store-exclusive item.
The dye is made from “fallen petals that have completed their role,” carefully collected by our Kyoto store staff within the temple grounds.
This process creates a gentle yet richly layered hue that can only be achieved with natural sakura.
Taizoin’s Cherry Blossoms
Taizoin, a Zen temple founded in the Muromachi period, is one of Kyoto’s most renowned cherry blossom viewing spots. Among them is the iconic 60-year-old weeping cherry tree, “Motonobu no Sakura,” along with many others that paint the temple grounds in a scene reminiscent of a traditional ink painting. The reflection of the blossoms on the Yokoen Garden pond quietly captivates all who visit.

What is Botanical Dye?
Botanical dye is an advanced evolution of traditional Japanese plant-based dyeing techniques. As the name suggests, it uses natural materials such as plants, flowers, and fruits to create dyes for fabrics like cotton and wool.
Unlike conventional natural dyeing—which typically uses around 20% natural ingredients along with chemical agents to fix the color—botanical dyeing uses a special binding method that allows over 60% natural dye content to adhere to the fibers. This results in a more environmentally friendly and skin-safe process.
Additionally, since a single plant can contain over 100 different pigment components, botanical dyeing achieves a depth and richness of color that cannot be replicated with synthetic dyes.
