Preparing to arrange the friendly ivy and pampas grass, a season dyed in the color of national defense. With the wood grain pulsating throughout the surface, we prepare vases with chrysanthemum, cherry blossoms, bush clover, and Shippo patterns. This is a single-layered "hand-painted Yuzen" silk visiting kimono, ready to arrange the naturally colored ivy and pampas grass swaying amicably in the wind. (*^^*) Yuzen dyeing, said to have been founded by Yuzensai Miyazaki, a fan painter in Kyoto during the Genroku era, is characterized by its rich colors and gorgeous patterns. Yuzen devised a method using rice flour, bran, and salt mixed into ito-me-nori (a paste used to prevent colors from bleeding), which prevented adjacent colors from mixing. This technique allowed for the expression of intricate patterns like paintings. Furthermore, those dyed by "hand-painting" are also called Hon-Yuzen (true Yuzen). With the basting thread still attached to the sleeves, "no stains or dirt," this is a "never-worn" piece, only worn once for photography♪ The material is "pure silk," which has a luxurious feel and is gentle on the skin. It fits the body comfortably and is easy to move in, thanks to the "hand-sewn tailoring." It's a piece you'll want to pass down through generations and cherish for a long time... and it's also easy to have it re-tailored. The "single-layered" kimono, worn between mid-May and the end of June, and in September, with the summer season in between, is attractive for its light and airy feel without lining. It's perfect as an intermediate garment when it's too hot to wear a lined kimono, but the thin summer garments aren't suitable for the season... or as a lifesaver when you're unsure what to wear due to unpredictable temperature changes! Let's arrange the friendly ivy and pampas grass beautifully with your favorite obi!
