Kurozome

Black Over-dye

Service

Kurozome is a traditional Japanese black dyeing technique that breathes new life into worn, stained, or faded clothing.

Kyoto Montuki has spent 100 years perfecting the art of dyeing traditional Japanese formal wear called "kuro-montsuki" (black family crests), and now offers this sustainable service to individual customers as both a way to preserve traditional craftsmanship and reduce textile waste.

Preserving Tradition

Kyoto Montsuki developed a special black dye that achieves a deep, saturated tone with exceptional resistance to fading. This process restores garments to a rich, uniform black while helping extend their life — combining thoughtful renewal with lasting color and sustainability.
