Bushu indigo dyed hakama from Saitama prefecture is the highest quality hakama made in Japan.
Fabric is dyed at the stage it's still a thread called "pre-dyed".
Indigo dye remains for a long time because the each threads are dyed individually. Whereas, regular indigo dyed hakama is dyed after fabric is made.

Standard fabric weaving machine runs in high speed precisely; thus, fabric can not be weaved anymore if indigo dye sticks to the machine.
The machine made to weave the pre-dyed fabric runs slower to produce the fabric.
The fabric is delicate and can not see a big difference with regular indigo dye in picture.
However, you can see a difference in dye's deepness and texture once you grab it with your hands. The dye lasts for a long time as well.
There is a strong determination in making this hakama.

Members from Japan Budogu Craftsman Association lead by Japanese dresser use their skilled technique to tailor this item.
This hakama is made from the best material and the best technique.
Fabric's number gets higher the more thread is kneaded into it.
Fabric with a higher number has higher density and more durable.

There is no other hakama that is more suitable for grading and gift.

埼玉産の武州藍染生地を日本で仕立てた最高級の剣道袴です。生地は糸の段階で先に藍染を行う「先染め」。
糸1本1本が染まっているため藍染に色の深さができ、長持ちします。通常藍染製品は生地になったものを染めます。
それは生地織機は高速で精密な作業の為、藍染が付着すると生地を織れなくなります。
先染めの生地を織るために作られた織機は、通常の機械よりゆっくりと少しずつ生地を製作します。
できあがった生地は繊細で、写真では普通の藍染と違いが大きく出ません。
しかし手に取ると色の奥深さや風合いは確かに違います。藍の色持ちも違います。
表面上にはわからないこだわりの一品です。
仕立ては日本武道具職人会のメンバー、和装師を筆頭に熟練の職人が仕立てます。
最高の素材と、最高の技で作られた剣道袴です。
生地の番号は織り込まれた糸の本数が多いほど、大きくなります。
番号の多い生地は密度も高くなり、耐久性にも優れています。

昇段用、贈答用にこれ以上の最適な袴はないでしょう。
