Product History

In Zen monasteries, the samue served as workwear: “samu” referring to service tasks performed with mindfulness in every gesture. Its wrap jacket and loose trousers gave monks the freedom to sweep the temple courtyard, chop wood, or garden without restricting their breathing. Over time, this functional simplicity became a symbol of the wabi-sabi movement: the humble appreciation of everyday beauty. This is why, both in Japan and abroad, the samue has won over artisan workshops, martial arts dojos, and households seeking clothing that is both rooted in tradition and suited to modern life. In Japan, we regularly see it worn by traditional gardeners for the creation and maintenance of Zen gardens, or shakkei.

Maintenance guide

Wash separately on the first wash
To preserve the original indigo color, do not machine wash: simply soak in a basin of lukewarm water with a little soap and a little white vinegar (kills bacteria and sets the colors)
