Signature Product of WASUIAN, Designed for Comfort and Style

Samue is the workwear for Zen discipline. It originated from the term ‘samu,’ meaning the daily chores in Zen temples. These work clothes were designed for comfort and purpose.

Nowadays, samue has become popular among a wider audience, experiencing this stylish and versatile outfit, perfect for both relaxing at home and stepping out in style. Samue also allows people to casually experience the serenity of Japanese culture and quality of life. Moreover, it is widely used for business purposes, such as restaurant uniforms, room wear and staff uniforms at ryokan and inns, and for those who provide chiropractic or shiatsu massage services, because it is easy to wear and easy to move in.

Authentic Samue Made by Skilled Artisans

Rooted in the rich heritage of Kiryu, Japan’s textile capital, our company carries on time-honored craftsmanship. Every piece is of high quality, just like a handcrafted work of art, created by Japanese artisans who pour their expertise into each stitch.
