An Immersive Experience of Becoming an Artisan and a Monk
Can you experience traditional culture in a workshop in a suit? Can you practice Zen meditation in a suit? Rent a samue to enhance your immersion.
Discover the Japanese Simplicity with Samue
Traditionally, samue is worn by monks in Japanese Zen temples. Its calm colors and design, tailored for ease of movement, have made it a favorite among many craftsmen. Thus, it's perfectly suited for engaging in traditional crafts or exploring historic streets like Kagurazaka.
Wearing samue facilitates a deeper understanding and immersion into Japanese traditions.
Wear a samue and immerse yourself in the essence of Zen. Experience traditional crafts in a studio dressed as artisans do. Walk the streets of tradition, stylishly clad in traditional Japanese attire.
