Since our founding, we have been dedicated to offering our customers comfortable and traditional samue, with the high quality expected from Japanese-crafted products. We are delighted that so many find their favorites here at Wasuian.

Now, let’s see the samue choices that are highly recommended by our customers, along with their comments, for your future reference.

In 2023, Wasuian celebrated the 60th anniversary of the opening of its predecessor Ida Shoten. To express our gratitude to our customers, we held a small event to commemorate our 60th anniversary.

For this event, we took some photos of ourselves wearing our favorite samue. We hope it will be a useful reference for choosing your own samue.

A zudabukuro is a bag originally used by Buddhist monks to carry their belongings during "dhūta". Now many people use this traditional bag as a fashion item. It can be matched with samue of your choice, but it is also designed to be worn with Western clothing without looking out of place, so it can be used in many situations. 

Our ancestors devised various ways to cool off, such as using wind chimes, sudare (bamboo screens), gyozui (running water), and uchimizu (sprinkled water). Wearing appropriate garments was also one way to feel cool. Why don't you try our cool and refreshing samue and jinbei to spend the hot seasons in comfort?
