This thread is natural dyed and treated with natural persimmon tannin that has been used as an antiseptic and water-proof coating for over 1000 years. After being exposed to ultra-violet rays, oxidation, temperature, and humidity, the thread will gradually, over time, change color, each one more elegant and rich. Enjoy the natural change of kakishibu thread with time.
