Dyeing Process
(Indigo Dye)
Indigo dyeing is generally done at the stage of the yarn.
However, in the Sanyo Senko, it can be dyed after it becomes “fabric”.
This is what allows for the smooth texture and deep, even color.
In addition, it can be combined with discharge and print to accommodate any design.
Combining traditional techniques with modern ideas.
Using indigo more freely for fashion and interior design.

Many people may have the impression that “indigo dyeing is just for mass production”.
In this case, Sanyo Senko carefully handle small lots.
Just what you need, made exactly for you.
Even for small lots, we can create the colors and textures you desire.
One of our strengths is the flexibility to support planning and ideas.

From natural fibers such as cotton and linen to recycled fibers such as rayon and tencel.
Sanyo Senko has a dyeing technology that can handle a variety of fabrics.
Especially with indigo dyeing, we can dye the fabric itself or remove patterns.
We aim to achieve the perfect finish for different materials, such as denim and shirting.
The perfect material and dye for the image you want to create.
Being able to make such proposals is one of our strengths.
(Discharge Print)
This is a special technique that makes it difficult to see the finish.
Stable and large quantities require advanced know-how.
Sanyo Senko has achieved this with its unique technology.
By applying up to four levels of shading or layering colors simultaneously,
we can also add an extra touch to the gradient.
Delicate, free and capable of mass production.
Here you can find expressions that you won't find anywhere else.

Gradient beauty and freedom of design.
Dan-ochi bassen is also attracting attention in the fashion and interior design world.
Sanyo Senko also looks at overseas expansion and applications in new fields.
We will continue to advance this technology.
(Discharge Print)
The beauty of gradation is not the only appealing factor of dan-ochi bassen.
In fact, the fabric itself creates a soft touch and natural depth.
Traditional prints use a lot of dye to match the dark colors, making the fabric harder.
However, Sanyo Senko technology reduces the burden on fibers,
resulting in a fluffy and smooth finish.
It looks comfortable and feels good.
It is a technology that can be designed to such a texture.
(Print Process)
Sanyo Senko has one of the few dyeing factories that can combine indigo dyeing and printing.
Its strength is not only in technology, but also in design flexibility.
We devise ways to display patterns to suit the fabric, and propose designs that perfectly fit the brand and product concept.
We always listen to market trends and user feedback to help create the "product that's needed right now."
(Print Process)
Coatings are water-repellent and paraffin-processing for added durability and comfort, or add a shine to the texture. This is an important process that balances functionality and beauty.
Sanyo Senko handles processing that takes into consideration compatibility with indigo dyeing and also handles special expressions.
We create pieces that stand out in both appearance and feel.
(Plain Dyeing)
At first glance, plain dyeing may seem simple, but in fact, color matching is one of the most difficult steps.
Eyes that see only a small difference in color and solid experience are essential.
Sanyo Senko has the craftsmanship and the know-how it has accumulated to keep up with the difficulties.
Even now, the depth of color is still important as there are fewer sites for fiber dyeing, and we have a system that can properly meet various materials and requests.
We can confidently respond to requests, such as using a specific color.
(Plain Dyeing)
Sanyo Senko is one of the few dyeing factories in the country that can dye natural fibers in-house.
Moreover, as an independent company, we have continued to meet Japan's strict quality standards, making us a reliable presence.
Materials like cotton and linen are delicate and require a lot of effort, but the look they have when dyed is all the more exceptional.
It has the power to bring out the charm of such natural materials.
