-----

This is one of our NAGOMI Shirt color.
Originally, indigo dyeing craftsmen added color to white cloth to make it less "white," so the name "kill the white" = "White-killer" was given to this color.

 In fact, the Sky Tree that you all know is an original color based on this lightest indigo-dyed color, 藍白.
