The Hands Behind the Thread: A Handmade Japanese Indigo Shirt by Tezukuri Kiyoko
This shirt holds the memory of someone's "handwork."
This piece is a handmade item, quietly and carefully made by an individual artist.
It is not just any shirt, but a piece with time and care sewn into it.
It has likely been kept unused and carefully stored, waiting to meet someone.
And now it goes to you, who will welcome it not as "clothing" but as a "person."
This is not a shirt to wear, but a shirt to meet.
And once you notice the presence of the "hands" behind it, you may never be able to go back to mass-produced clothes.
