Summer Kimono: Genuine Ojiya Chijimi, Hand-woven, Warp Kasuri, Fine Count Ramie Yarn Color: Neriiro (Pale Beige) *Excluding Kasuri Pattern (*Color details are based on the "Wairo Daijiten" - Japanese Color Dictionary.) * "This is an expensive piece, but we have kept the price as low as possible by selling it directly, which is not possible with consignment (exhibition) sales where prices tend to be higher." Genuine Ojiya Chijimi, Hand-woven Warp Kasuri / Warp Yarn: 100 count, Weft Yarn: 140 count Ramie, Summer Single Layer Made by: (Yugen Kaisha) Odakin Exceptional coolness, lightness, and a comfortable feel are the hallmarks of high-quality, fine linen fibers and hand-weaving. We believe this is Ojiya Chijimi as a "Kenjo-fu" (tribute cloth). (The certification label on this item states, "Wrinkle-resistant and allows for superior airflow.") Using strong, fine 100-count warp and 140-count weft ramie yarn, the fabric woven with the skilled beating of hand-weaving has a supple wrinkle appearance and a soft feel despite its thinness. It is so delicate that you'll want to keep touching it, and it has a calming, gentle texture. The kasuri pattern creates a sharp, vertical silhouette against a neriiro background. It blends into various modern scenes while also conveying a classic charm. Machine-woven Ojiya Chijimi, which is more affordable and widely available as a casual summer kimono, is also suitable and approachable for summer wear. However, we also want you to experience the enjoyment of the coolness and soft comfort when wearing such high-quality, delicate, and rustic kasuri fabric. It allows for a refreshing summer outfit that lets the wind pass through, and you can enjoy it for a long time while washing it repeatedly. *Recommended wearing season: "Mid-June to mid-September" * "In our photography, we adjust the brightness, saturation, and detail to capture the actual colors and texture of the fabric as closely as possible."
