Excellent Condition, Exceptional Item: Important Intangible Cultural Property, Authentic Kumejima Tsumugi, Mud-Dyeing, Kimono, Kasuri (ikat), Okinawa, Black, Brown, Dark Brown, Brownish Orange, 161cm Length, 64cm Yuke (sleeve to sleeve) For Komon, Tsumugi, and Casual Kimono, see here: #yoshikoyoshikoKomonTsumugi Kumejima Tsumugi is a top-quality Tsumugi textile woven in Kumejima, Okinawa Prefecture. It preserves traditions from the Ryukyu Kingdom era and is entirely handmade, designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan in 2004. The fabric has a plump and supple feel, is comfortable to wear, and has a wonderful texture. The manufacturing process is done by hand, and one person handles the pattern selection, dyeing (using plant dyes and mud dyeing, reportedly dyeing about 100 times to achieve a blackish-brown color), and weaving. Some of the raw yarn is produced by sericulture farmers on the island, and all the dyes use locally grown Ipomoea pes-caprae (Gour) and other plants, with mud dyeing also done on the island. This item features a deeply textured Ryukyu Kasuri pattern. Please understand that there may be minor stains or odors from long-term storage. If you are concerned about the odor, please air it out in a well-ventilated area or have it cleaned. Handmade items have a quality that is not found in modern times, and there are probably no two exactly alike. Thank you for your understanding. ★ When shipping, it will be folded compactly. If you are looking for perfection or are very particular, please purchase from a kimono shop where you can see the item in person. m(_ _)m #Kimono #JapanesePattern #Fabric #Cloth #JapaneseStyle #ClassicPattern #HonZome (authentic dyeing) #Iki (stylish) #Chic #Kimono #Kimono #JapaneseClothing #Gofuku (silk fabric) #kimono #Kabuki #japan #Remake #Handmade Finally.
