This is a 100% silk tie from "Hikaru Genji," a Nishijin-ori weaver in Kyoto. This tie features a delicate weave with black threads on a base of deep burgundy to crimson. At first glance, it appears almost solid, but upon closer inspection, the weave reveals different textures, with a partially uneven, handcrafted feel. Rather than embroidery, the expression is achieved through the weaving techniques unique to Nishijin-ori, creating a refined finish with shadows that appear depending on how the light hits it. While not flashy, it has a depth that is only revealed upon close examination, adding a quiet presence to suit and jacket styles.
