The name comes from the luster and texture reminiscent of Mediterranean Majolica pottery. It was produced for about four years from 1959 and became very popular. Using silk thread and a thread called "nenshi," the fabric has fine "shibo" (crepe-like texture) on the surface. With many Western-style patterns, it was used for a wide range of purposes, such as komon (small pattern) and visiting kimonos. Majolica Omeshi captivated many people with its innovative design and the glamorous shine of the lame thread at the time. Today, it is popular among kimono enthusiasts as an antique kimono. *We inspect the items, but there may be some stains or dirt that we have overlooked. *Please check the images for wrinkles. *Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item, as this is a used item. *The color of the photos may differ from the actual product due to the lighting and the settings of your device.
