This stylish piece features a subtle, hazy, and refreshing gradation of vertical stripes in Shinbashi color (a greenish-yellow) and Urayanagi color (willow green). The cotton-linen blend offers a crisp, cool feel. This garment immediately conveys a sense of coolness and comfort. Thanks to the linen, it allows heat to escape easily, providing excellent breathability. It's also absorbent and quick-drying. The addition of cotton makes it less prone to wrinkles, achieving a natural texture. The charm of the cotton-linen blend, combined with the vertical gradation unique to this style, creates a hazy, blurred effect with a tasteful expression, making you feel like this is your personal oasis... offering the ultimate comfort. Enjoy this "hand-sewn" tailored piece, which drapes gently and comfortably against the body, allowing for ease of movement. This is a "cotton-linen" vertical gradation washable summer kimono with near-Omi-chijimi (a type of crinkled fabric). Omi, centered around Lake Biwa, has abundant water resources and has long flourished as a production area for linen fabrics, blessed with the necessary conditions for weaving linen. The unique "Omi-chijimi" texture is created by twisting the weft threads and rubbing the woven fabric during the finishing process. The crinkles reduce the contact surface with the skin, allowing air to pass through, providing a refreshing coolness without stickiness. This demonstrates the wisdom of how to comfortably spend the humid Japanese summers. This is a brand-new item with the basting threads still attached, having been worn once for photography. As a "washable summer kimono," it's a great asset during the sweaty season, allowing you to wash it at home and maintain cleanliness at all times. Cotton-linen kimonos are rarely woven these days, so this valuable encounter is not to be missed.
