6 characteristic colors are naturally derived from mother earth
Using the sustainable <Nokorizome> born from [Mottainai] meaning
'not being wasteful', <Curetex> achieved six gentle colors of nature.
We practice the 'power of plants'. Using gentle colors from trees and agricultural products that we are familiar with, these natural colors are added to leftover processed plants and food, or <Nokorizome> .
To make <Nokorizome> , we get the color from timber and pomace and dye the cloth naturally and gently. KURAKIN adopts a sustainable method in the dyeing industry and is the originator of dyeing with a passion for environment and [Mottainai] ,'not being wasteful'.
The colors are gentle, warm and attractive on the skin. We created a dyeing method that is perfect for the concept of [ It comes from the ground and to the ground, it will return ] .
