We have received a special, high-quality "Honba 'Ai' Oshima Tsumugi" (genuine indigo-dyed Oshima Tsumugi). This is a masterpiece, carefully woven by the contemporary master craftsman, [Haifu Orimono]. Haifu Orimono is a pioneer who created white Oshima Tsumugi during a time when mud dyeing was the norm. Under the belief of "cherishing the colors of Japanese nature," he trained day and night from a young age, and after observing and researching overseas textiles and dyeing techniques, he succeeded in bringing out new possibilities for Oshima Tsumugi. Mr. Haifu's works incorporate traditional techniques with newly researched and developed technologies, featuring intricate kasuri patterns and beautiful colors that cannot be imitated by others. They are a very popular weaver, featured in kimono magazines such as "Utsukushii Kimono" and "Kimono SALON." Furthermore, Mr. Haifu uses only carefully selected domestic raw silk thread (raw cocoon thread) for his materials. Unlike general silk thread, which is made by drying cocoons and unraveling them, raw cocoon thread is carefully spun from living silkworms, taking many times longer. It retains the original suppleness and luster of silk and has become very valuable in recent years. In addition, this work is handled by [Kano of Muromachi], a Kyoto wholesaler specializing in select textiles, making it truly a "specially selected masterpiece." You will be able to enjoy a "sense of luxury" that can only be felt with genuine indigo dyeing, setting it apart from the Oshima Tsumugi you often see. From semi-formal fukuro obi to dyed and woven Nagoya obi... This is a very versatile piece that can be enjoyed with a variety of obi combinations. Also, it is a recommended point that it is an "unused item" with the basting threads still attached, and the body length is 158 cm and the裄 (yukitake - length from the center of the back to the end of the sleeve) is 64 cm, making it a "good size" for many customers. Customers looking for a wonderful tsumugi that you won't see anywhere else. Customers who want to try on a particularly high-quality kimono woven by the contemporary master craftsman [Haifu Orimono] and approved by the prestigious wholesaler [Kano of Muromachi]. Please take this opportunity to wear the finest Honba "Ai" Oshima and captivate those around you. ~ Kamakura Fuwari ~ [Dimensions] Body Length: 159 cm Front Width: 25 cm Back Width: 30 cm 裄 (Yukitake): 64 cm Sleeve Length: 49 cm [Material/Condition] Silk New, very beautiful item.
