Popular Oshima Tsumugi, unlike other Tsumugi, uses raw silk with no knots and uniform fineness, giving it an elegant luster, lightness, and wrinkle resistance. It is also characterized by the "silk sound" that makes a "shari shari" (rustling) noise when walking. Dorozome Oshima Tsumugi is a traditional craft made by weaving patterns with threads dyed black through repeated mud dyeing, then adding indigo. The pattern of this Oshima Tsumugi combines an impressive vertical flower design with a striped pattern connecting hemp leaf patterns. The vertical lines make adult women look sleek. The hemp leaf pattern is a geometric pattern of connected hexagons, a popular design that feels modern while being traditional. This piece is a carefully crafted "Yamato Chosai" item, with the addition of cute flower patterns. Although there is some soiling from metal hooks on the collar lining of this used item, there are no other noticeable stains or dirt, and it is in good condition with little sign of use. ■ Outer Fabric: Pure Silk, Wide Collar, Lined ■ Body Length: 158.5cm (Shoulder to Hem) ■ Sleeve Length: 44.5cm ■ Sleeve Width: 32.5cm ■ Front Width: 24cm ■ Back Width: 28.5cm Paired with the separately sold "Hosho All-Patterned Fukuro Obi, Abstract Curves and Interpretations of Japanese Nature, Long Length 452". #TsurukameKimono
