This is a very high-quality, medium-weight linen. (Wide width 134cm, made in Japan) I purchased this two years ago from a Nippori shop specializing in Japanese linen and cotton. It's not very see-through. It's only slightly transparent when held up to bright sunlight. I think it can be used for a wide range of purposes. It has not been pre-washed. It has been stored out of direct sunlight, so I don't think there is any sun damage. Thank you. #JapaneseLinen #Black #MediumWeight #Length: 3m #Width: 134cm
