⭐ This is a beautiful white fabric of genuine silk, "Hama Chirimen." A customer once messaged us saying, "It's as beautiful as freshly fallen snow, even possessing an air of elegance." ⭐ Hama Chirimen, along with Tango Chirimen, is a superb fabric synonymous with silk weaving for Japanese clothing. By strongly twisting the weft threads, a beautiful ripple-like texture (shibo) is created. You can fully appreciate the sophistication of silk crepe. It is worlds apart from the common yellowing that occurs with age. ⭐ Product Name: Hama Chirimen White Fabric. It bears the inspection-passed mark of the Nagahama Chirimen Weaving Cooperative. This stamp is applied to the end of long bolts of fabric, so not all items for sale will have it (see image 9). 100% Silk (Original Use: High-grade kimono fabric for dyeing such as Tomesode and Homongi). ⭐ Size: Width approx. 36 CM (9 sun 5 bu) Length approx. 1 M (1 meter). Inspected and passed genuine product. This fabric is highly versatile for crafts, dyeing experiments, etc. It is an authentic "Sazanami Chirimen" with a beautiful ripple-like texture and no pattern whatsoever. ⭐ Every time I touch white silk fabric, I think: Silk is a precious gift from silkworms. Touching white silk, I can almost hear the silkworms munching on mulberry leaves, and I can vividly imagine them becoming beautifully transparent. ★ Image 8 shows a magnified view of the weave using a linen tester. ⭐ The fabric has been "yunoshi" (a steaming process) by our long-time partner, a "yunoshi specialist," making it beautiful and hygienic. This is the dedication of a specialist. ⭐ As stated in my profile, I am a professional in textiles and weaving. Based on my knowledge and experience, I will include a letter detailing the fabric's characteristics and how to care for it at home, including hand washing. I have confidence in this, having repeatedly experimented and researched easy washing methods. ★ Shipping is planned via Raku Raku Mercari便 Nekoposu. ＜All text above is the responsibility of the seller, Hana Echizen.
