This is a tall, pre-sewn summer Ushikubi Tsumugi with a certificate of authenticity, featuring a unique dyeing technique and a stunning design by Yuzenshi "Ninsen Maeda," incorporating a Sarasa pattern and a signature. Ninsen Maeda, a Yuzenshi from Kyoto, consistently creates innovative works with the concept of "one and only," unbound by tradition and formality. The Ninsen brand has revolutionized the conventions of kimono with its pursuit of aesthetic sense and dedication to production, while still upholding tradition. Ushikubi Tsumugi has a unique texture that combines both Tsumugi and silk weaving, making it beautiful, strong, and comfortable against the skin. It is a traditional craft characterized by its elegant and rustic folk art style. It originates from the place name Ushikubi Village (present-day Hakusan Village, Ishikawa Prefecture) in the Hakusan foothills. It is characterized by being woven using thick, knotted tama-ito (silk thread) made from the tama-mayu (double cocoons) produced by two silkworms. The lustrous expression created by the navy gray color, the beauty of the delicate Sarasa patterns that show fluctuations in the shades of color and patterns, and the world of Ninsen Maeda, which depicts a deep fantasy with rich warmth, "Welcome to the world of Ninsen Sarasa!" The indescribable unique color creates a depth that makes the kimono even more beautiful. This is a brand new, unused piece, only worn for photography, with "shitsuke-ito (basting threads) attached / hand-sewn tailoring." It is a high-quality tailoring with a koshiki-ate (seat lining) that reduces the wrinkling unique to thin kimonos when sitting and prevents the undergarments from showing through. This kimono incorporates a creative Sarasa design with a focus on the beauty of dyeing in a dull tone. Its innovative design that captivates the eye is unique to Ninsen Maeda... You are sure to enjoy the depth of the creative kimono that attracts everyone with its hidden splendor! This item has been carefully tailored by our company from the fabric.
