Cotton T Shirt Botanical Dye

Kenchoji × Hydrangea Botanical T-Shirt Please note: This item runs smaller than standard sizing. We recommend choosing one size larger than your usual fit. This 100% cotton botanical-dyed T-shirt is crafted from soft, gentle fabric and dyed using natural dye extracted from hydrangeas carefully harvested at Kenchoji, the leading temple of the Five Great Zen Temples of Kamakura. The dyeing process uses a unique Botanical Dye technique—an evolution of traditional Japanese plant dyeing—which preserves over 60% of the natural components, resulting in deep, organic hues. A double-name tag featuring Kenchoji and Kamakura Shirts is sewn at the lower left hem, making this a truly special piece.
