Rare ladies' haori himo (coat cords) made with Kihachijo fabric. Kihachijo (黄八丈) is a silk fabric from Hachijo-jima Island in Tokyo. It primarily uses three colors: yellow dyed with the bark of the tabu tree and madami, brown from the bark of the shii tree, and blue from indigo. It is characterized by stripes and checkered patterns. The vibrant yellow is famous, and it was loved by samurai and townspeople as a high-class textile since the Edo period. It is still passed down as a traditional craft today. Thank you for looking. #Kihachijo #HaoriHimo #TraditionalCrafts
