"A naturally expanding flavor," a refreshing, washable summer kimono... This is Ojiya Chijimi, a linen fabric with vertical stripes. Ojiya Chijimi is a linen fabric woven meticulously with patterned weft threads matched one by one to the warp threads. The "snow bleaching" process to whiten the fabric is famous as a seasonal tradition that heralds spring in Ojiya. Its distinctive, puckered texture is a characteristic feature and has been designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan. The design features vertical stripes drawn on a forget-me-not colored ground that brings the material to life. The traditional techniques are poured into the shimmering sparkle, creating the ultimate summer coolness. It's "a usual summer gift" that will reach you... The shades of the stripes, drawn with a modern touch, create a beautiful expression as if blowing wind into the kimono. This is a brand new, unused piece, only worn for photography, with "basting threads attached/hand-sewn tailoring." It's a high-quality tailoring with a seat lining to reduce the wrinkling unique to thin kimonos when sitting and to prevent see-through of undergarments. This kimono incorporates familiar vertical stripes in a light grayish tone, enhancing the refreshing feel and approachability of the summer chijimi. With a modest statement, the unobtrusive "casual sense" is very fresh. Linen is a summer material with excellent breathability, often used for yukata and obi. The crisp, slightly stiff fabric conforms to the body and sends a cool breeze. Washable kimonos are also easy to handle at home and are recommended for kimono beginners. "A letter from the wind, woven into the chijimi that draws stripes, feeling the history," please take this opportunity to have it in your hands.
