This is a genuine Oshima Tsumugi ensemble for men, featuring a beautiful arrangement of 100 komon (tortoise shell) patterns on an indigo ground, making it the most orthodox style among men's Oshima Tsumugi. The kasuri (ikat) patterns are shown in photos 8 and 9, and are woven with exquisite precision. The komon patterns are created using a technique called ichigen-kasuri, which involves crossing two warp threads and two weft threads to create a well-like pattern resembling a pinwheel. This is a very labor-intensive technique even among Oshima Tsumugi. Photo 9 shows the 100 komon pattern, with just over 10 komon woven within 1 sun (3.788 cm) of the kujira-jaku (whale scale). The lining of the kimono is made of fine-count cotton called kanekin, dyed beni-kuro (crimson and black). This lining is highly compatible with Oshima Tsumugi. The haori (jacket) lining is made of seika silk, with a horizontal gradation dye. For the gradation dyeing, the fabric is first stretched long and taut using shinsu-bari (stretching needles) attached to bamboo sticks to make it easier to move the dyeing brush. Then, the fabric is dyed using a hiki-zome (pull-dyeing) technique. The fabric is dyed with a dyeing brush, and then a gradation brush is used to blend the colors. This technique utilizes the blurring of colors to create a gradual change in light and shade, expressing a harmonious color scheme like a haze. The connection and overlap of the colors and patterns on the left and right sides of the haori lining, centered on the back, are natural and exquisite. This is an example of the Japanese tradition of "ura-gachi" (hidden beauty), where even the lining of the haori, a traditional Japanese garment that the world is proud of, is meticulously crafted. It also demonstrates the attention to detail.
