This is a genuine Oshima Tsumugi silk kimono, dyed with pure mud and featuring a ground design. I purchased this unworn item with its original tags from a kimono shop online for 50,000 yen and wore it only once for a short period. It's a beautiful piece with a stylish design, but it doesn't suit me very well, so I'd like to pass it on to someone who will wear it. ■ Size Length (from shoulder): 158.5cm (4.5cm seam allowance in front, 4.5cm in back) 裄 (Sleeve length): 64.5cm (2.5cm seam allowance on shoulder side, 3.5cm on sleeve side) Sleeve width: 32.5cm Sleeve length: 48cm (2cm seam allowance) Front width: 24.3cm Back width: 29cm ■ Suitable height: Approximately 153.5cm ~ 163.5cm (±5cm of the length is the basic guideline) It will be shipped folded small.

It is a genuine Oshima Tsumugi, which is considered the "Queen of Kimonos" and represents Japan's traditional clothing. The design is woven on an orthodox mud-dyed ground with a calm color palette, and since it doesn't go out of style, you will be able to use it for a long time in casual settings. 【 About Oshima Tsumugi 】 Designated as a Traditional Craft by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry (designated February 17, 1975) A woven fabric produced mainly in Amami Oshima, Kagoshima Prefecture. It is counted among the world's three major textiles, and those woven with pre-dyed yarn, hand-woven plain weave, and kasuri matching are designated as traditional crafts under the name "Honba Oshima Tsumugi" (Genuine Oshima Tsumugi). It is characterized by its suppleness, lightness, and wrinkle resistance. The traditional dyeing method mainly involves hand-spun yarn dyed a dark brown color with the boiled juice of "Teichiki" (Prunus salicina), a plant native to the Amami area, and iron-containing mud. There are also indigo, white, and colored Oshima Tsumugi. Oshima Tsumugi has about 84 different types under limited conditions such as unique kasuri (fine dots) usage, pre-dyeing, and manufacturing methods, which are created by combining 6 types of dyeing and 14 types of organization based on the arrangement of the yarn.
