For those partaking in their first tea ceremony, we recommend considering the donning of a Samue. Originally the attire of Zen Buddhist monks, the Samue has evolved into a popular choice for casual wear in Japan in recent years. Its similarity to Western-style clothing makes it a comfortable and fitting option.

Would you like to incorporate traditional Japanese samue into your life? Samue is a casual way to wear Japanese culture. Samue is widely used in Japan as a relaxing garment, for everyday wear, and as work clothes.
