[Medium Size] Awa Shijira Indigo-Dyed Bassen Slippers — Traditional Elegance & Ultimate Barefoot Comfort
[Medium Size] Awa Shijira Indigo-Dyed Bassen Slippers — Traditional Elegance & Ultimate Barefoot Comfort
Experience the luxurious comfort of Japanese heritage. These exquisite indoor slippers are crafted entirely from Awa Shijira-ori—a historic, registered traditional craft textile from Tokushima, Japan—used generously for both the upper and the footbed.
Every pair is dyed with Tokushima’s world-renowned natural "Awa Indigo" (Aizome) and features elegant patterns created through Bassen (discharge printing), a highly demanding artisan technique that reveals beautiful, clean designs on deep indigo fabric.
Key Features
・Signature Puckered Texture: Made of 100% breathable cotton, the unique wavy texture of Shijira-ori minimizes skin contact, keeping your bare feet incredibly cool, dry, and sweat-free all day.
・Authentic Japanese Indigo (Aizome): Dyed with premium natural indigo, celebrated globally for its stunning depth of blue and natural antibacterial qualities.
・Artisanal "Bassen" Patterns (5 Varieties): Available in 5 unique patterned designs created through skilled discharge printing (Bassen). These intricate white patterns beautifully contrast against the deep indigo, making each pair a functional work of art.
