Samue (Blue Cotton)

Samue (作務衣) is the work clothing of a Japanese Zen monk. Made from cotton or linen and traditionally dyed brown or indigo to distinguish them from formal vestments, samue are worn by monks performing labour duty such as temple maintenance and field work. In modern times they have become popular as general casual or work wear.
