Persimmon dyes are one of the most traditional dyes in Japan. Since it makes fabric stronger, has antibacterial qualities, and protects against bugs etc. it is used for the bag in the sake making process. TSTSU BAI SEN is one of persimmon dyes used for these tenegui. After the tenegui is dyed it is put in the sun to dry where it turns brown, then more dye is added which contains iron to make the color even darker. All of the tenegui are slightly different shades of color because of this unique natural process. The more years you use it the more the color will lighten.
