Aloha Blossom is an aloha shirt brand run by Kiyosaku Uehara, an Okinawan artist who is well known for his work with Monpati. In Okinawa, aloha shirts are sometimes worn on special occasions such as weddings. Wanting to wear something well-made, he has teamed up with designer Tomotaka Onozaki to create the finest aloha shirts that lift your spirits.

Today we would like to introduce the CHUSEN DYE SHORT, which was launched last year and has been very popular.

Aloha Blossom often uses original fabrics printed with a variety of patterns, but this product uses custom-made fabric that is not printed but dyed using a technique called chusen dyeing.


Original textiles made using the chusen dyeing technique, which has been used since the Meiji period.


Aloha Blossom Chusen
The name "chusen" comes from the fact that the dye is poured into a container called a kettle and then poured into a mold to dye the fabric.

It has a unique look where colors blend together like tie-dye, and because the dye penetrates all the way to the core of the thread, it is dyed vividly on both sides. It is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique that can also be seen on tenugui cloths.
Aloha Shirt Kiyosaku
The base fabric is Aloha Blossom's original 100% rayon fabric, which has a drape and a beautiful sheen. It feels cool when you put your arms through the sleeves, and it doesn't get sticky even when you sweat, making it the perfect material for the humid Japanese summer.
