Brand new, unworn, and only put on for photography, this piece is a "hand-sewn" item with basting threads still attached. Omeshi is an abbreviation of Omeshi Chijimi (Omeshi crepe). It is considered the most luxurious among woven kimono fabrics, characterized by its luster and high-quality crispness. Twisted yarn, which is made by twisting the threads, is used for the warp and weft, and the fabric is named crepe because of the fine "shibo" (crepe texture) on the surface. Omeshi is a woven kimono like Tsumugi and cotton, but it has the characteristic of being more resilient and less prone to wrinkles than other crepes, making it less likely to lose its shape and suitable for fashionable wear. Also, it is a pre-dyed kimono where the threads are dyed before being woven into the fabric, and the colors and patterns are created with those colored threads. Patterned items have a subtle depth of shadow due to the unevenness of the woven fabric. "The story woven into the Omeshi that draws stripes across time and space," truly "premium," it is a one-of-a-kind piece just for you... Please do not miss this opportunity.
