This is a woman's yukata made with Arimatsu-Narumi shibori. Arimatsu shibori is a general term for cotton shibori produced in the Arimatsu-Narumi area of Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. Using the technique of tying and dyeing fabric, various patterns are created. Because of its light and cool feel, it is mainly used as yukata fabric, and the Arimatsu-Narumi area is the largest shibori dyeing production area in the country. In 1975, it was designated as a traditional craft of Japan under the name "Arimatsu-Narumi Shibori." Shibori yukata fabric is thinner than general yukata fabric, light and fluffy, with a unique unevenness that makes it less likely to stick to the skin, and has a gentle feel. Also, shibori yukata does not require cleaning or ironing, and can be easily washed at home. The unevenness also makes wrinkles less noticeable, making it easy to wear, which is one of its charms. As it is a summer fabric with a cool feel, in addition to pairing it with hanhaba obi or yukata obi, you can also enjoy it with various coordinates such as pairing it with a juban and a Nagoya obi of ro or sha (types of silk gauze).(^^) ●Size: Bachi collar, single-layered construction Length 156cm Sleeve length 63cm Sleeve length 45cm Front width 25.5cm Back width 32.5cm There are no seam allowances for the sleeve length or hem. *Please note that there may be slight variations due to the elasticity. ●Material: Cotton ●Condition: There are stains on the collar and some minor stains.
