(The layout of the store has changed since August 1st!)
Let me explain the new colors in a little more detail.
There are many different shades of black, such as reddish black or bluish black, but the black that SHIKI offers is an original color based on the traditional Japanese color "betel nut black."
Betel nut black is an elegant black colour with a hint of blue, and the method of production is called betel nut dyeing.
It is a deep black dyed color made with areca nuts, the seeds of the areca palm, which is also used as a traditional Chinese medicine, and was also called "aishitaguro" (indigo-under-black) because indigo was used as the base dye.
Since the Edo period, this elegant and deep black color has been considered to be "iki" and is considered the highest quality color for crested clothing.
The traditional betel nut dyeing technique has become a rare technique in modern times, but by recreating it in wooden products, SHIKI hopes to pass on Japan's traditional black color to future generations.
