"The Unfading Summer Footprints," a refreshing summer kimono... This is a wonderful silk basho (banana fiber) kimono made of sha tsumugi (silk gauze tsumugi). Silk basho is a silk fabric that replicates the feel of "Bashofu," the highest-grade summer kimono representing Okinawa. Bashofu is rare and cannot be mass-produced, so silk basho was created to achieve a similar texture. It features the slightly stiff and crisp texture and light transparency of Bashofu. The "Scene of Ancient Memories," drawn all over the chic black background, is a wonderful gift of the wind that leaves a pleasant impact on the transparency of the sha (gauze). The unique natural texture created by the high-quality silk threads is truly unique to summer basho. This is a brand new, unused item, only worn for photography, and is a "hand-sewn" item with basting threads still attached. This kimono has a high-quality construction with a seat lining. It reduces the wrinkling unique to thin kimonos when sitting and also prevents the see-through effect of what is worn underneath. This is a piece for adults that maximizes the material's texture while arranging the colors, patterns, and sense of style to a modern sensibility. It is sure to become a favorite for those who love fashion. Pair it with your favorite obi (sash) and enjoy a refined summer outfit to your heart's content. Sha is a simple gauze weave made by twisting two warp threads around each weft thread. It has more transparency than ro (crepe), and is a summer fabric that can be worn widely from casual to semi-formal occasions. There are mon-sha (patterned gauze) and tsumugi-sha (tsumugi gauze using tsumugi threads).
