［Wholesale］Shikon Threads Set - Colors of Japan

Shikon - The Noble Purple of Japan - Shikon dye is derived from the root of the murasaki (gromwell) plant and has been treasured in Japan since the Asuka period, when it was reserved as the highest-ranking color. Through a meticulous process of repeated dyeing, it develops a depth and elegance unattainable with synthetic dyes. Over time, the color gently matures, gaining softness and character—one of the unique beauties of natural dyeing. Historically, shikon was also valued as a medicinal herb and believed to support healthy skin. We are proud to carry this heritage forward, bringing the soul of Japanese nature to your craft. Perfect for temari, sashiko, embroidery, darning, and more, these naturally dyed threads bring a gentle brilliance to your handmade work. Kiri (Paulownia) Wood Box These special items are presented in handcrafted kiri (paulownia) wood boxes, traditional Japanese containers long used to store rice, tea, and even fine garments such as kimono. Paulownia wood is prized for being lightweight yet durable, with natural resistance to moisture and insects—making it an ideal environment for preserving delicate threads. Included is a small pink tubu temari (tiny temari charm), tied like an amulet to wish happiness and protection. A thoughtful and beautiful gift for yourself or someone special. Note: Tubu temari color is random and cannot be selected.
