It's not just yellow; it has a beautiful, indescribable color, like a beautiful green peeking through, like the color of mugwort. The indigo also has variations in shade, with thick and thin lines, creating a woven texture with depth. Echizen Ishida-jima is a cotton fabric woven in the Ishida area of Sabae City since the Edo period. It uses hand-spun yarn dyed with plant dyes and is hand-woven, taking about a month to weave one roll of fabric. This weaving technique was once lost, but it was revived by Rie Sasaki. It seems that Ms. Sasaki is the only one creating Ishida-jima that is distributed in the market as kimono fabric. This obi is made with hand-spun cotton yarn dyed with "indigo" and other dyes, and hand-woven on a high loom, taking a lot of time and effort. It is characterized by the unique texture and knots of cotton, and the gentle, tasteful dyeing that is characteristic of plant dyes. I have kept it carefully, but I haven't had many opportunities to wear it, so I'm offering it to someone who is looking for it. I think it looks a little modern and has a unique atmosphere. Suitable for the seasons of single-layered kimono to lined kimono. Length: 368cm There are fold creases from being folded, but there are no other noticeable flaws. It is a very fine item. I have inspected it, but I am a private seller, so there may be oversights. We are looking forward to your consideration if you are accustomed to used items.
