A highly popular item from Hakata's master craftsman, Nishimura Orimono. ❗️Limited stock, popular item, lowest price, includes tailoring, so please refrain from price negotiations!❗️ Original price: 180,000 yen (?) Nishimura Orimono's "Hitoe Hakata 8-sun Obi - Ufufu" uses a twisted (mojiri) weave devised by traditional craftsman Nobuyoshi Matsuo, creating a lightweight summer obi with a rich texture. It features a modern design with a sense of transparency and floating feeling, achieved by bundling 24 warp threads and using thick weft threads, making it perfect for hitoe (unlined) and summer kimonos. Features of Nishimura Orimono "Ufufu" Material/Texture: 100% silk. Uses the mojiri-ori (coarse gauze) technique, making it very light and breathable. Design: Characterized by a three-dimensional structure, reminiscent of the character "浮 (floating)". Uses: Casual wear for hitoe in June and September, and summer kimonos (yukata, summer tsumugi, komon, etc.) in July and August. Tailoring: 8-sun obi (unlined tailoring) [Coarse Gauze U・Fu・Fu] Named "U・Fu・Fu" after the character "浮 (floating)". The colorful weft threads express the lively appearance of brightly colored fish swimming in the water and birds flying in the sky. Compared to obi for mid-summer, the gaps between the threads are narrower, so you can wear it not only in summer but also with hitoe kimonos. The expression of both warp and weft threads floating was created by traditional craftsman Matsuo. This structure also looks like a three-dimensional intersection of threads. It is a very attractive piece as a textile. #HakataOri #TraditionalCraft #SilkSheen #SilkWeave #Craftsman #Monozukuri #Kimono #NishimuraOrimono8SunObi #Hitoe #Mojiri #Floating #CoolFeeling ⭐️Kagari sewing tailoring is Matsuba tailoring, and we only accept requests for length.
