This is a woman's yukata made with Arimatsu-Narumi shibori. Arimatsu shibori is a general term for cotton shibori produced in the Arimatsu-Narumi area of Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. Using the shibori technique of tying and dyeing fabric, various patterns are created. Because of its light and cool feel, it is mainly used as yukata fabric, and the Arimatsu-Narumi area is the largest shibori dyeing production area in Japan. In 1975, it was designated as a traditional craft of Japan under the name "Arimatsu-Narumi Shibori." Shibori yukata fabric is thinner than general yukata fabric, light and fluffy, and its unique unevenness makes it less likely to stick to the skin, providing a gentle touch. Also, shibori yukata does not require cleaning or ironing and can be easily washed at home. The unevenness also makes wrinkles less noticeable, making it easy to wear, which is one of its charms. As it is a summer fabric that offers a cool feeling, it can be paired with a hanhaba obi or yukata obi, or with a juban and a Nagoya obi made of ro or sha, and we hope you will enjoy it with various coordinates(^^) ●Size: Bati collar, single-layered construction Length 158cm Sleeve length 64cm Sleeve length 45cm Front width 24cm Back width 30.5cm There are no seam allowances for the sleeve length or hem. *Please note that there may be slight variations due to the elasticity. ●Material: Cotton ●Condition: The sleeve has a basting thread attached.
