Hours: 11:00 - 20:00

"VISVIM HARMONIOUS PROCESS," an exhibition and sales event that explores visvim's approach to craftsmanship will be held simultaneously at four BIOTOP store locations in Shirokanedai, Osaka, Kobe, and Sapporo. 

This event showcases a collection that focuses on the broad range of "natural dyeing," a process for dyeing fabrics by utilizing raw materials that are derived from plants, animals, and other natural sources.  In addition to a wide array of products featuring the rich hues unique to natural materials, we will also be offering exclusive items that have been prepared especially for these pop-up events being held at BIOTOP.  We will also be distributing copies of the booklet titled, "Addendum to the Dissertation / Natural-Dyeing" (24 pages, full color, B5 format, saddle-stitched binding) at the venue, which documents the production process of the items being released for this event.  (Quantities of the booklet are limited and only available while supplies last.)  We look forward to seeing you soon.

Lookbook：VISVIM HARMONIOUS PROCESS 2026

The following is an excerpt from the booklet "Addendum to the Dissertation / Natural-Dyeing"

When compared to synthetic dyeing, natural dyes yield a more non uniform finish resulting in subtle variations of the shades that emerge with each color. Each finish can possess a unique hue that presents great depth in its character that is simply difficult to attain with synthetic dyeing. Truth be told, these artisans do not intentionally aim for a non-uniform result; they actually strive to minimize any inconsistencies. However, it is precisely these subtle variations that we seek which emerge naturally from a process that invites the use of human hands. This type of collaborative process can sometimes lead to new discoveries that even a seasoned artisan had never taken notice of in their work before. An example of this would be our suggestion to take a modern sneaker and apply natural dyes to finish them off. New products can come to life when they are created with unprecedented ideas or perspectives. It is a challenge to think of new possibilities, but like the things from the past that inspire us, we hope to create products for today whose appeal can be appreciated even more with the passing of time.
