The Star of Summer! A Vibrant Piece Painted with Traditional Dyeing Techniques... This komon, dyed in a reddish-purple hue, is a striking piece with its bold color scheme and delicate all-over pattern created by the "Naga-ita Mamehiki-zome" technique. Its elegant yet refined appearance adds a touch of grace to your summer attire. The material used is "cotton kohbai," known for its comfortable, cool feel against the skin. The fabric, woven with cotton threads of varying thicknesses, creates a fine grid-like texture, allowing you to wear it comfortably even in the humid summer months. The dyeing process employs the traditional "Naga-ita Chugata-zome" technique, which has been used since the Edo period, and further enhanced with a pre-dyeing step using soybean liquid, known as "Mamehiki-zome." This extra step enhances the color development and fixation, resulting in a piece of exceptional quality crafted by skilled artisans. The garment is hand-sewn, allowing it to gently conform to the body. It also includes a seat lining, providing complete protection against transparency and preventing the garment from losing its shape. Perfect for everyday outings such as strolling through the city, dining with friends, visiting museums, or attending the theater, this garment can be enjoyed as both a yukata and a summer kimono. It can be widely coordinated depending on the obi and accessories. This is a brand new, unworn item, only used for the photoshoot, and comes with basting threads still attached. A cool and vibrant piece that embodies traditional techniques. Why not add this special garment to your wardrobe to brighten up your summer?
