VISVIM HARMONIOUS PROCESS


To commemorate the 25th anniversary of visvim, we will be holding "VISVIM HARMONIOUS PROCESS," an exhibition and sales event exploring the brand's manufacturing process, from September 3rd (Wed) to September 16th (Tue) at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 1st Floor, The Stage .

This event focuses on "Doro-Zome (Mud-Dyeing)," a natural dyeing technique that has been passed down for generations in Amami Oshima, Kagoshima Prefecture. We will introduce the techniques and appeal of this dyeing method, which is widely known as a traditional craft such as Oshima Tsumugi silk, through exhibits and products. In addition to the Doro-Zome clothing, denim, and shoes available for pre-sale at Isetan Shinjuku Store items from the FW25 collection will also be on display. Attendees will receive a booklet created specifically for this exhibition, "Addendum to the Dissertation / Doro-Zome (Mud-Dyeing)" (16 pages / full color / B5 size / saddle-stitched).

The following is from the booklet "Addendum to the Dissertation / Doro-Zome (Mud-Dyeing)"


It's been over a decade since we first incorporated mud dyeing. While it may seem like we're just continuing the same process, in reality, we've made small adjustments with each attempt, constantly refining our techniques through trial and error, thereby expanding the possibilities of "mud dyeing" as a dyeing process. We've not only dyed things brown or black, but we've also established a new way of adding subtle texture to synthetic fiber products like nylon—something unprecedented in the history of "mud dyeing."


These initiatives require not only respect for inherited traditions but also the understanding and cooperation of artisans towards new challenges. In Japan, where kimono culture has long flourished, there are still a few remaining examples of craftsmanship that have inherited traditional handcrafting techniques. We believe that one of our missions in creating new products is to transform that charm into a form that suits the times and connect it to today's market.

Here are some of the products we offer.
