Subtle arrow-and-feather pattern floats on a sheer black background. This is a cool, refined Yuki-tsumugi, perfect for blending seamlessly with the summer air. Yuki-tsumugi, passed down primarily in Yuki City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a high-quality silk fabric that Japan is proud of, woven with hand-spun threads from raw silk. Its light, supple texture and smooth feel are its appeal, and it is also registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. This particular piece is a summer Yuki-tsumugi with the characteristics of "sha-tsumugi" (sheer tsumugi). While retaining the rustic texture unique to tsumugi, the sheer, thin fabric is also excellent in breathability, providing a comfortable wear even in the humid season. You can enjoy a gracefully cool and elegant look even in the height of summer, feeling light and airy. The tailoring is done with careful hand-sewing. It gently conforms to the wearer's body and offers excellent ease of movement. It also comes with a "ishiki-ate" (seat lining), providing careful consideration for wrinkles and sheerness when sitting. It alleviates the anxieties often associated with thin fabrics. The arrow-and-feather pattern that stands out against the calm black background gives a dignified impression, while also allowing for various expressions with obi and accessories. It is perfect for summer outings such as visiting Japanese cafes, museums, strolling around town, and fireworks displays. It will add an elegant coolness even within its rustic texture. There is a very faint streak mark from storage on the left shoulder to the left sleeve, but otherwise, it is in beautiful condition. It will be delivered in a new, unused condition with the basting threads still attached. Dignified in appearance, soft in wear. This is a piece that will add subtle beauty and elegance to your summer attire.
