This luxurious tare uses genuine indigo-dyed deerskin to reinforce the fit-stitched futon - this provides solid and reliable protection with an elegant and refined finish. Mituboshi's experienced artisans produce the Kyokuho Tare in their workshop in Iwate, Japan. Thanks to the gakuzashi stitching it is not only durable, but it also holds its shape for impeccable chakuso.
