Sarasa Printed Cotton
Sarasa is a traditional, high-quality, 100% cotton Japanese fabric inspired by historic Indian, Persian, and European designs, known for its intricate, muted-colour prints. Featuring botanical florals, arabesques, and geometric motifs, it is durable, pre-shrunk, and popular for quilting, apparel, and boro stitching.
Traditionally, five key colours are used: dark red, indigo, green, yellow, and brown, reflecting the wabi-sabi (refined simplicity) aesthetic.
Popular for quilting, clothing, home decor, and, traditionally, tea-ceremony containers, wrapping cloths (furoshiki), and kimono fabric. Olympus produces these high-quality fabrics using traditional techniques.
