It radiates the subtle luster and profound depth unique to pure silk.

The design features an original Uzu (Tomoe) motif by Horiken II, a traditional Japanese tattoo master who continues to preserve the ancient art of hand-carved tattooing.
Since ancient times, this spiral symbol has represented protection, the cycle of the universe, and the path to enlightenment—
embodying the enduring spirit and refined aesthetics of Japan.
