I washed, unpicked, and ironed one Oshima Tsumugi kimono (enough fabric for one garment) that was in my mother's chest. It's ready to use. Perfect for remaking or creating small items! It's from the Showa era. I sun-dried it, so I don't think there's any odor, but that's just my perception. I've tried to remove any loose threads, but there might be some I missed. Please understand and accept the above points before purchasing.
