A pale wisteria gray with subtle vertical stripes... This piece, with its refreshingly cool color and texture, lightly brightens up summer attire. This is a piece of Ojiya Chijimi, custom-made by Yamato. "Ojiya Chijimi," known for its coolness and excellent breathability, is a traditional hemp fabric from Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture, a snow country in Echigo. The "snow bleaching" process, where the fabric is spread out on snow fields in early spring, and the unique "shibo" (crepe-like texture) created by tightly twisted weft yarns... All of this is born from the skills of artisans who spare no effort and the blessings of nature. Designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan, it is truly a "wearable work of art." The understated vertical stripes add a subtle depth without being overbearing, and its flexibility allows for a wide range of obi and accessories. This is a piece you'll want to reach for, as you can easily slip it on for everyday outings. You can enjoy it in a wide range of settings, such as strolling around town, going to the theater, having lunch with friends, or visiting museums. There is a faint stain on the collar lining from storage, but it is not noticeable when worn, and the rest of the garment is in beautiful condition. This is a brand new item with the basting threads still attached, only worn for the photoshoot. Unpretentious, yet high-quality. Please consider this piece as a way to comfortably spend a summer day.
