FAQ
The history of the samue?
The samue was invented and popularized by Japanese Zen Buddhist monks. These holy men wore Samue while participating in a form of spiritual mindfulness in which they clean, cook, and tend to the grounds with a deep and abiding focus on their tasks.
This kind of meditation through menial labor is called samu, and is where the samue gets its name. The traditional samue also carries a reputation for craftsmanship and artistry. Masters and workers in traditional crafts, such as woodworking and swordsmithing, often wear these work clothes in and out of the shop.
What is the samue zeitaku
The Himoriwabi Samue Zeitaku is a homage to traditional Japanese clothing worn by Zen monks during Zazen meditation. Remodelled with our Zeitaku™ Hybrid Cotton for maximum comfort & better temperature regulation to help you relax and achieve evenness of mind. Our version of the samue was intended to be so comfortable and luxurious that you could even wear it to sleep. We wanted to create a samue that people could wear as loungewear in their homes while carrying out daily activities to spark that reminder to live mindfully.
What is samu?
Samu is the participation in the physical work needed to maintain the Zen monastery. All the chores around the temple like chopping wood or sweeping are called Samu. This practice is done with concentration and silence, one step at a time. Many owners of our Himoriwabi Samue Zeitaku put Samu into practise in their own homes by engaging in daily tasks like cooking and cleaning with deep concentration and mindfulness. Everything becomes practical and there is no separation between meditation and activity. In the kitchen, the colours of the vegetables become more vibrant, oil sizzles audibly in the pan, and an array of aromas fill the air. If you already own a Samue, we encourage you to try it out for yourself.
How do i wash and care samue?
Machine wash normal
Do not bleach
Tumble dry, Low temp
Line dry
Do not wring
Iron medium (max 150°C)
Any solvent except trichloroethylene
What do japanese people think of foreigners wearing the samue?
From our perspective, we are honored that our traditional clothing are gaining popularity around the world. It makes us happy that people from other countries are adopting Japanese culture and making it a part of their lives.
In Japan, we have adopted and learned a lot from Western culture. From movies, music, fashion, and food, we have taken our Western counterparts as reference to learn from and to improve ourselves. And it makes us extremely proud and happy to see that other cultures are adopting and learning from us as well.
