Beiryu Oshima Tsumugi Kimono Haori (Japanese coat) Although difficult to see in the photos, the fine red and black checkered pattern makes the entire tsumugi appear to be a reddish-brown color. It has a sheen and a texture similar to Oshima Tsumugi. I had this tsumugi kimono made because I wanted to wear one, but then I began training in the tea ceremony and haven't had the opportunity to wear it. The kimono has been worn only once. The haori is unused and still has the basting threads attached. The black color is vibrant, making it a stylish kimono. The haori does not have a string. It is in beautiful condition, but there are creases. I don't think they will be noticeable when worn. The lining (hakkake) is red, so it's suitable for younger people. Beiryu Tsumugi is an abbreviation of Yonezawa Ryukyu Tsumugi. In the mid-Edo period, Yozawa feudal lord Yozan Uesugi established sericulture and weaving as industries. Since then, Yonezawa tsumugi has been loved, incorporating various techniques. This Beiryu Oshima was named after the influence of Oshima, which was popular from the Meiji to Taisho eras, when reddish-brown Oshima-style small kasuri patterns were in vogue.
