The Work Blouse has a large patch pocket on the front, and one internal pocket. The fit is slightly cropped, with added volume through the body for a boxy fit and dropped shoulders.
The hemp fabric is silky and structured, unlike any hemp you have felt before.
Made in Japan
100% Hemp
Woven at a mill in the Bishu region, this original material is a plain weave made from medium-fine hemp yarn, pushed to its absolute limit of high density for both warp and weft. Post-weaving, YS applies a Nidom process, intentionally shrinking the fabric to develop a unique undulating surface. During this treatment, the fabric's surface is gently rubbed, softening its natural nap and resulting in a remarkably smooth, almost brushed hand. Though densely woven and initially as firm as sailcloth, the Nidom process imparts a distinctive, aged texture, reminiscent of well-loved antique textiles.

Yoko Sakamoto believes that by creating designs that do not interfere with the nature of the materials and silhouettes, we can make the most of their original qualities of the materials.
They hope to pass on and communicate the skills of the craftsmen involved in our work in a better way and that this will lead to the creation of products that will enrich the lives of the wearers and be one of their favourite items in their closet the would have for a long time to come.
