When you say "the usual," this is it♪ The "Ichimatsu" pattern, an alternating arrangement of differently colored squares, was once called "ishidatami" (stone pavement) or "arare" (hail). It got its name from the Edo period kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu, who was fond of it. This Ichimatsu pattern, connected with a tasteful striped design in ink black and a subtly worn texture, creates a three-dimensional effect depending on the viewing angle, spreading a retro yet modern atmosphere. While there is a slight stain on the upper chest and a small spot on the upper thigh, the chic, retro-modern atmosphere seems to quietly erase them, making it stylish just to wear! With a "ishiki-ate" (seat lining) to cover transparency and prevent sweat and other stains from directly affecting the kimono, it also reduces stress on the seams and fabric around the hips, beautifully enhancing the back view. This is a "hitoe" (single-layered) silk komon (small-patterned kimono) ('ω')ノ "Hitoe" kimonos, worn from mid-May to the end of June and in September, bridging the seasons, are attractive for their light and airy feel due to the lack of lining. They are perfect as an in-between garment when it's too hot for lined kimonos but the thin summer fabrics aren't quite right... However, with the unpredictable temperature changes these days, and many places having air conditioning, they can also be worn in the slightly cooler parts of summer. The timing of wearing them has changed to suit modern lifestyles. Please enjoy them according to your judgment. The familiar comfort and ease of movement unique to "hand-sewn tailoring," which is different from machine-made, along with the soft embrace of the "silk" material, are also something I want you to savor! Please wear this as a staple for casual outings during the hitoe season (*^▽^*) Measurements: Length: 160cm (from shoulder) Sleeve to sleeve: 65cm Shoulder width: 31cm Sleeve width: 34cm Sleeve length: 48.5cm Front width: 24cm Back width: 30.5cm Material: Silk (Hitoe) with seat lining Seam allowance: Length (Ura-age: front 4cm, back 3.5cm) Sleeve to sleeve (Miyagoro side: 3.5cm, sleeve side: 2cm) Sleeve length (4cm) Tap here to see the blue part♪ Hitoe here #yumehitoe Komon here #yumekomon ***Announcements (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.*** ★Regarding discounts, please see the profile. ★The obi and accessories worn are props for photography.
