Embroidery
— The Pride of Hand-Stitching —

At Ogasasenshū, we cherish the luxury of stitching by hand.

From Shantou embroidery to flat and Sagara techniques, our master artisans dedicate their skills and spirit to each stitch, creating beauty that exists nowhere else in the world.

The luster and dimension of the thread, the soft yet dignified texture—these are qualities that only human hands can imbue.

With time, care, and unwavering devotion, we offer embroidery that tells a story.

To sew by hand is to offer a quiet prayer.

With this belief in our hearts, we continue to weave the art of embroidery into every piece we create.

繍 ― 手刺繍という誇り ―

尾峨佐染繍が大切にするのは、「手で縫う」という贅沢。
汕頭・平刺繍・相良刺繍など、伝統技法を極めた職人が、一針一針に技と心を込め、唯一無二の美を生み出します。

糸が織りなす光沢や立体感、柔らかくも凛とした風合い、それは人の手にしか宿らないもの。

時間と手間を惜しまず、“語る刺繍”を届ける。
手で縫うことは祈りに似ている。
この想いを胸に、私たちは刺繍という芸術を紡ぎ続けます。

Dyeing
— The Spirit Infused in Every Hue —

Every dyed piece at Ogasasenshū is crafted entirely by hand.

Blending traditional Kyoto dyeing and yuzen techniques with methods from both Japan and abroad, we pursue a freedom of expression that is both profound and evocative.

We believe that color speaks.

Each hue reflects the artisan’s sensitivity and skill—its subtle shifts, irregularities, and depth are hallmarks of hand-dyeing, breathing life into the fabric.

With patience, precision, and passion, we seek to create colors that linger in the heart.

In the past, and into the future, we remain devoted to the true essence of dyeing.

染 ― 色に込める思い ―

尾峨佐染繍の染は、すべて職人の手で生まれます。
京染めや友禅に加え、国内外の技法を取り入れ、自由で深い表現を追求しています。

私たちは、「色も語る」と信じています。
一色一色に込められた感性と技が、手染めならではの揺らぎや濃淡を生み、作品に命を吹き込みます。

手間と時間を惜しまず、人の心に残る色を。
これまでも、これからも、染に真摯に向き合い続けます。

Batik
— Weaving Global Heritage Through the Lens of Japanese Aesthetics —

At Ogasasenshū, we continue to explore the fusion of Japanese craftsmanship with textile traditions from around the world.

Among them, Indonesian batik—a wax-resist dyeing technique recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage—stands out for its intricate process and expressive richness.

By harmonizing this revered technique with the world of kimono, we elevate batik into a new form of artistic expression.

The spirit of handwork, harmony with nature, and a deep appreciation for storytelling—these shared values between Japan and batik give rise to a new aesthetic: a fusion of Japanese elegance and global tradition.

With every stitch, Ogasasenshū honors the past while shaping the future of textile artistry.

バティック ― 世界が認めた伝統を、日本の美意識で織りなす ―

尾峨佐染繡は、日本の手仕事に世界の染織文化を融合させる取り組みを続けています。
中でもインドネシア伝統のろうけつ染「バティック」は、繊細な防染技法によって生まれる豊かな表情が魅力。
ユネスコ無形文化遺産にも登録されたこの技法を、日本の着物文化と結びつけ、新たな表現へと昇華させています。

手仕事の精神、自然との調和、物語を織り込む美意識──
日本とバティックが共鳴することで生まれる「和と世界の融合美」。
尾峨佐は、伝統を敬いながら未来へと紡ぐ、創造の一針を大切にしています。
