Price reduced from 4500 yen to 3900 yen. November 4, 2025 This is a genuine Oshima Tsumugi, woven with a broken tortoise shell pattern in black thread on a brownish base, incorporating shapes like kikkou (tortoise shell) and komochi kikkou (tortoise shell with smaller tortoise shells), and further enhanced with green diagonal lines. From a distance, it appears to be a brownish color woven with deep orange-toned kasuri threads and black ground threads (see photo 6). It is a 7-maruki, Ichigen-shiki kasuri (single-element kasuri) with a ratio of 2 kasuri threads to 2 ground threads, creating a very intricate pattern, making it a very time-consuming masterpiece. Ichigen-shiki kasuri means that the kasuri threads of the warp are arranged in two consecutive threads, and the weft threads are also arranged in two consecutive threads. The kasuri pattern creates a well-shaped kasuri like a pinwheel. It seems that matching the kasuri is very difficult, and the weavers are limited. When this Oshima Tsumugi was woven, Ichigen-shiki kasuri was at its peak, and recently, Katasu-shiki (T-shaped kasuri) has become more common. At our store, most of the Oshima Tsumugi we receive are Ichigen-shiki. Therefore, it is natural to hear that the old kimonos were better. However, Katasu-shiki Oshima Tsumugi is also very time-consuming, and the number of people who can weave it is decreasing. This is one of the characteristics of Oshima Tsumugi, which the world is proud of. The lining is white habutae silk, and the hakke (lining of the lower part of the kimono) uses a plain fabric of both koma (silk thread) for tsumugi in a light ocher color. I think it is a color that goes well with the color of the outer fabric.
