Kakishibuzome (Tannin Dye)

from $29.00

"Kakishibu" is the traditional Japanese dye/paint of deep amber color which was fermented and aged more than 2 years from unripe persimmon astringent. Kakishibu dyeing is very easy. Just apply directly or dilute with water. No fixer needed. By the time, the dyed color changes deeper by oxidation of tannin. Kakishibu has been recognized again as a great alternative by more people who are interested in nature and wellness because it is organic, no additives, non-toxic, water-resistant, antiseptic, insect repellent, mildew-proof.

Please note:
This Kakishibu is no additives. Instead of using a chemical treatment to remove the fermentation scent, we use a heat treatment to remove the bacteria and reduce the odor. The balsamic vinegar or food compost-like strong fermented smell will start to disappear after a week. Please be sure you have an open-air working space.
