This is a women's yukata made with Arimatsu-Narumi shibori. Arimatsu shibori is a general term for cotton shibori produced in the Arimatsu-Narumi area of Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. Using the technique of tying and dyeing fabric, various patterns are created. Because of its light and cool feel, it is mainly used as yukata fabric, and the Arimatsu-Narumi area is the largest shibori dyeing production area in Japan. In 1975, it was designated as a traditional craft of Japan under the name "Arimatsu-Narumi Shibori." Shibori yukata fabric is thinner than general yukata fabric, light and fluffy, with a unique uneven texture that makes it less likely to stick to the skin, and has a gentle feel. Also, shibori yukata does not require dry cleaning or ironing, and can be easily washed at home. The unevenness also makes wrinkles less noticeable, making it easy to wear, which is one of its charms. As it is a summer fabric with a cool feel, it can be paired with hanhaba obi or yukata obi, as well as with a juban and a Nagoya obi made of ro or sha, and we hope you will enjoy it with various coordinates(^^) ●Size: Bachi-eri (v-neck collar), single-layered construction Length: 158cm Sleeve length: 45cm Front width: 24cm Back width: 30.5cm There is no seam allowance in the sleeve or hem. *Please note that there may be slight variations due to the elasticity. ●Material: Cotton ●Condition: The basting thread is attached to the sleeves.
