Sasawashi Room Boots

Sasawashi room boots by Sasawashi.

The Kumazasa plant is a species of Japanese bamboo which has been prized for centuries for its beneficial antibacterial properties. Kamuzasa leaves were traditionally used to wrap food, especially sushi, to preserve it and prevent it from spoiling. They were also used to make a variety of natural remedies to fight infection and promote healing.

Today, the Sasawashi company spins Kumazasa fibres into thread which can be woven into a variety of textiles that are light, lint-free and capable of absorbing twice as much moisture as cotton. They also have natural anti-bacterial and exfoliating qualities.

Sasawashi room boots combine these natural benefits with a distinctively Japanese simplicity of form. These boots feature a very thick cushion sole for added warmth, with stitching to add character.
