This is Kumejima Tsumugi, although it does not have a certification label. It features a unique kasuri (ikat) technique, and you can see the distinctive marks of the binding process on this kimono. Faint, thin lines can be seen on the plain areas, either vertically or horizontally; these are the marks of the binding. This characteristic is very evident in the kasuri and weaving. The yarn used in Kumejima Tsumugi is Oyari yarn, made from silk floss. The woven fabric has a slightly rough texture. Kumejima Tsumugi is designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property. This is to preserve the traditional techniques of its production. The patterns are a gradient weave not seen elsewhere. The binding method is different. You can see the difference when you enlarge the pattern. The dyeing is all done using mud dyeing, with plants that grow naturally on the island. There are Kumejima Tsumugi that are not mud-dyed, but this one is. From thread making to binding, dyeing, and weaving, everything is done by hand. There are signs of wear from tying the obi (sash). This is my best size, so I was reluctant to part with it, but I have accumulated too many and am now listing it. The pattern size is medium, making it easy to wear.
