" I think the KIWAMI denim is one of the top three denims in over 50 years of my career.  I’ve been aiming for many years to create a denim that can express the unique color and texture of hank dyeing with the method of rope dyeing.

With expertise and special techniques come from many years of experience, finally KIWAMI was made which perfectly expresses what I expect.  

The KIWAMI denim looks like 阿波正藍AWA-SHOAI denim, which is woven with shades of indigo blue threads hank dyed, produced by high skilled craftsmen.

The natural indigo dyeing 阿波正藍AWA-SHOUAI, has a long tradition in Japan and comes from the Tokushima prefecture, made from Awa-indigo and is dyed by a method called “fermentation”. 阿波正藍AWA-SHOUAI denim is very expensive, but KIWAMI could make less than half of its cost.

KIWAMI is really great rope dyed natural indigo denim, there is nothing like others. Moreover, because threads are dyed by the rope dyeing method, threads’ cores are white so that you can enjoy color fades, gradation and ageing of denim.

It is something you cannot do with 阿波正藍AWA-SHOUAI denim, because, in the hank dyeing method, threads are dyed to the core and no white parts.

This denim is my new masterpiece creation, by ONI DENIM "
