2023年小雪の酒丸。

Koyuki's Sakemaru in 2023.


It's now light snow in 2023.
This is Sakemaru.
Light snow is when it snows a little, but...
It seems like it's already snowing heavily in many places this year.
The southern Kanto region is still experiencing mild weather,
It's rumored that it will get really cold from tomorrow, Saturday.
It's finally time for winter clothes!

The other day, I went to a local ancient temple to see the autumn leaves.

Komatsuji Temple is located deep in the mountains of Chikura, Minamiboso City.
The vibrant autumn leaves, ginkgo trees and autumn sky combine together.
It was amazing.

In fact, this pond,
This is the pond that was featured on the TV show "Drain all the water from the pond!"
(I really like that show)



Well, today…
We would like to introduce you to a shirt that is reminiscent of vibrant autumn leaves and ginkgo trees .
Ombre check,
Flannel two flap open collar shirt.

It's selling at a tremendous speed in stores,
By the time this blog is posted, there will likely be a shortage of colors and sizes.
But first, let me introduce it to you.
First of all, it's a vibrant red, like autumn leaves.

And a bright mustard flavor reminiscent of ginkgo.

Boxy open collar shirt,
The left and right pockets have flaps.
So-called,
A classic 1950s shirt.
And the fabric is particularly noteworthy!

It's easier to understand if you can see and touch it directly...
It's made of a fairly thick cotton flannel material.
Even thicker knotted threads,
In other words, Nep is flying!
This is really cool!

Ah, now there's new information!
Apparently the mustard was sold out!

So, I'll introduce another one!
Here it is!
Printed two-flap open collar shirt!

The color is red and…

The other color is green.


Close-up of the fabric.

If you look at it, it's obvious.
Check pattern expressed in print.

Personally, I absolutely love these types of printed shirts!
But why…
Patterns that were originally expressed as woven or knitted patterns,
This is because "printing" only started in the 1950s!

For example, everyone loves the argyle pattern.
This is also originally a knitting pattern from the Argyle region of England.
It was a traditional coat of arms.
Textile designers in the 1950s turned it into a print!
Furthermore, it features the famous napped print pattern.
That is originally a traditional Japanese kasuri pattern.
Textile designers in the 1950s also made prints of it.
Why is that?
Probably.
The fabrics expressed through knitting and weaving are
I have to start from dyeing the thread,
It just takes time.
However, with prints, once the plate is completed,
After that, you can continue printing semi-permanently until the plate is destroyed.
This originated in America after World War II.
It was the prelude to mass production and mass consumption!
America won the war,
Young soldiers who had been scattered all over the world have returned home.
At that time, he received a pension and began buying a detached house in the suburbs.
The young soldiers who had too much money on hand
Having a family and a home,
I consumed a variety of things.
Detached houses, cars, furniture, home appliances...
Of course, that includes everyday clothing.
Furthermore, we are now in an era where people are buying clothes for their families in droves.
So manufacturers tend to think that rather than items that take a long time to make,
It's better to make a lot of them and sell them in large quantities,
There was a shift towards prints rather than yarn dyes!

After that...in the early 1960s, social unrest such as the Kennedy assassination spread,
Mass production and mass consumption has calmed down for the time being.
Thus, the era of clothing where anything could be printed on anything came to an end.
(The technique remained, so prints have continued to evolve since then.)

In other words, "printed check pattern"
It was only popular in the 1950s and then disappeared.
It's an item that is like a flower of the times!

This time, I miraculously found such fabric in dead stock.
Of course, it is a boxy open collar shirt with two flaps,
In other words, it will be a design that represents the 1950s!

This shirt is filled with such passion.
Why not buy it before the colors and sizes start to run out?



Now.
I started farming locally.
Due to various circumstances, the first agricultural product shipped was "Yuzu"!

This is how they were lined up in the store!
We will continue to add more and more items.
We grow our crops without pesticides and using organic fertilizer!
"Cinnamon Leaf Tea" will soon be available in each store!
Please be sure to purchase it!

see you!
