I am offering at a bargain price unused kimonos and obi that my mother, a Japanese dancer, my wife, and my younger sister no longer wear. These were purchased through connections with a kimono shop. This item was ordered from "Sotomura Shoji" in Shijo, Kyoto. It is an Important Intangible Cultural Property, Honba Yuki Tsumugi "Yu" Jiki, Hon-Ai Dyeing, vertical and horizontal hand-spun silk thread, "100 Kikkou So-Kasuri Weave, Butterfly Pattern" Kasuri binding, and hand-woven. While chemical dyes are used in Hon-Yuki, this is a masterpiece of "Ai-Yuki" dyed with expensive natural indigo. The 100 Kikkou So-Kasuri weave features a "Butterfly Pattern" with a three-dimensional effect in a day-and-night pattern, and is hand-woven. This is a Hon-Yuki item. The cocoons of silkworms are boiled and softened, then spread out, and hand-spun threads are used for both the warp and weft. It is soft, warm because it contains a lot of air, and a very comfortable and gentle material. By spinning the thread from this silk floss by hand, the highest quality thread is created without compromising the quality of the material. It is said that only Honba Yuki Tsumugi uses hand-spun threads for both warp and weft. It has a unique lightness, luster, and texture, and because it uses hand-spun threads from high-quality cocoons, it is wrinkle-resistant and light despite being thick. The highest grade is indicated by the certification marks "Yu", "Ishige", and "Tsumugi". Yuki Tsumugi becomes softer and more familiar to the body the more it is "worn out," and it becomes more familiar to the body after repeated washing and stretching two or three times. It is said that it can be passed down for three generations, and I believe this is why it is considered the highest peak among Tsumugi.
