THE SOUL OF JAPAN
MEANING AND TRADITION IN OUR FABRICS
Fabric & material
Where Tradition Meets Innovation
Every SUSUMU AI piece begins with the fabric.
We source only from selected Japanese family owned mills, where craftsmanship and respect for material have been passed down for generations.
Our textiles are not only beautiful in appearance but also made to endure — combining elegance, comfort, and longevity.
Made in Osaka, printed in Kyoto.
One of our signature fabrics is Chirimen, a traditional Japanese crepe known for its subtle texture and remarkable durability.
Originally used for kimono, this viscose-based textile is woven with a unique twist technique, giving it its characteristic, slightly grainy surface.
It resists wrinkling, drapes beautifully, and reveals depth with every movement.
Chirimen embodies the essence of Japanese textile art — strength wrapped in softness.
Our fabrics are not only refined but functional:

Chrysanthemums in shades of blue
A classic Kiku pattern featuring layered chrysanthemum blossoms in shades of blue, black and grey. Clear lines and balanced composition create a sense of calm movement and quiet elegance.

Shibori (絞り)
The Pattern of Patience on ivory
Shibori is one of Japan’s oldest dyeing techniques, created through meticulous hand-binding and dyeing. Thousands of dots emerge on ivory chirimen, forming a quiet, meditative rhythm.
In Japanese culture, Shibori represents mindfulness, focus, and the beauty of imperfection. This pattern embodies stillness, depth, and conscious craftsmanship.

In Japan, the cherry blossom symbolizes renewal, the fleeting beauty of life, and new beginnings. The dark backdrop adds depth and elegance, allowing the blossoms to shine with quiet grace.
Obi no Mai (帯の舞)
Dance of the Obi Ribbons
Flowing ribbons inspired by traditional kimono obi belts seem to move gracefully across a deep burgundy background. The design captures the elegance of Japanese craftsmanship and the atmosphere of festive occasions. A fabric rich in movement, tradition, and timeless beauty.

Sakura Hanabira (桜花びら)
