This is a set of two red-dyed Echigo fundoshi (loincloths) made from white sarashi cotton. The author has put a lot of care into the design, making the maedare (front drape) slightly shorter. The red dye does not contain azo dyes (specific aromatic amines), which can potentially produce carcinogenic substances, so you can wear them with peace of mind. 【Note】When you first start using them, please wash them separately by hand for a while. The color will stop fading after a few washes, and you will be able to wash them with other clothes. ● Tate-mitsu (vertical part): Length 96cm, Width 30cm, reinforced with a full-circumference fold ● Yoko-mitsu (horizontal part) (string): Length 138cm, Width 2cm ● Reinforced with chikara-ito (strength thread) at the intersection of the tate-mitsu and yoko-mitsu ● Size after washing Tate-mitsu: Length 94cm, Width 30cm Yoko-mitsu (string): Length 136cm, Width 2cm ● The maedare is cut shorter to match Western clothing. Long maedare goes well with kimonos, but with Western clothes, the maedare can get tangled in the crotch, and it may stick out with shorts. A shorter maedare is more practical in modern times, and the author thinks it looks better. ● The yoko-mitsu (string) is nearly 140cm long, so it can be worn by people with a larger build. The 34cm wide sarashi cloth is divided into four equal parts and folded four times to make the string, resulting in a sturdy string. As shown in the photo, it won't loosen if you tie it so that it passes through the upper edge of the hip bone, about 10cm below the navel. 【Reference】The Echigo fundoshi that Grandpa Wada has been using for over half a century was invented in the Edo period. It was the perfect underwear for Japan's hot and humid climate, and was welcomed by Japanese men, surviving for hundreds of years without falling out of favor. The ones made of sarashi cotton are still popular today, and they are a clean, simple, traditional, and healthy underwear with excellent breathability and moisture absorption. It is also recommended for those who are concerned about the tightness of rubber or the rash caused by synthetic fibers in pants and briefs. The Echigo fundoshi, with its Japanese spirit, is also a good gift for birthdays, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, and sixtieth birthdays, and is also appreciated by people overseas who are suffering from the heat and humidity, as it is cool and healthy. This time, in response to the requests of fans, 72-year-old Grandpa Wada has carefully crafted Echigo fundoshi dyed red with the same sarashi cotton material as the white sarashi Echigo fundoshi he currently uses, and named it "Kiai" (spirit) wishing for the good health and development of the purchasers. It is a red fundoshi (akafun) that can be called a "shobu-fundoshi" (winning fundoshi), and it is a special item that is especially useful for sixtieth birthday celebrations and for a change of pace, so each one is sewn with care. #EchigoFundoshi #Fundoshi #Akafun #Akahun #ShobuFundoshi
