Pink-Gray (Enji Nezumi 臙脂鼠)

Raffia dyed using sustainable, earth-friendly natural dyes and techniques.

50g of raffia dyed with the insect galls from the leaves and stems of "Nurude," the Chinese sumac nutgall tree.

The color is difficult to describe, so we borrowed the name "Enji Nezumi 臙脂鼠," from "Shijuhachiya Hyakunezumi 四十八茶百鼠" (48 browns, 100 grays) color chart. If you’re curious, look it up. it evokes a sense of nostalgia for the stylishness of the Edo period
