 Rich crimson
Iron oxide pigment is used for the dark red. This hue can coordinate beautifully with dark styles. The compatibility with dark brown or black is superb. However, you can also use this coaster with light backgrounds. Basically red is a strong color, and sometimes difficult to add to your table setting. Because of its muted hue, this coaster makes tasteful matching with any light backgrounds easy.
This fabric is finer-woven than Hessian, and has a gentle feel. In Japan, hemp ware is often preferred in summer. This coaster will create a cool summer coordination.

    Hemp and natural dyeHemps have been used for clothing, short split curtains, mosquito netting, harnesses, and many other items in Japan. Plant dyeing has also been used since olden days. In particular persimmon dyeing has waterproof and antiseptic effects, and so was used for many goods like fishing nets, paper fans, and Japanese umbrellas. Natural dyeing one by one takes time, and it is difficult to dye evenly. The items respectively created by craftsmen have distinctive touches and premium colors which can not be found in mass-produced products. |
    Natural hue from KyotoThe great colors are created by Mitsuru-studio in Kyoto. They use natural dyestuff, and value natural hue. They aspire to produce items blended of traditional pattern and modern design. The studio only uses persimmon juice from Kyoto. Other plant dyeing is all hand-made from dyer's-weed picking, to making dyestuffs, to the dyeing process. Dyeing needs a lot of water. Mitsuru-studio does not use tap water; they use natural water from mountain springs. That is all for the natural hue and aesthetic property of each item.
