"A carefully chosen selection for adults," a refreshing summer kimono... This is a lovely *tsukesage* made of *sha-tsumugi* with a beautiful gradation. *Sha* is a simple gauze weave created by twisting two warp threads around each weft thread, resulting in a more sheer fabric than *ro* (a type of gauze). It's a summer fabric that can be worn for a wide range of occasions, from casual to semi-formal. There are varieties like *mon-sha* (with woven patterns) and *tsumugi-sha* (using *tsumugi* yarn). The rich gradation of colors, primarily in *minato-nezumi-iro* (harbor mouse gray), is dyed with a variety of hues. It's a "modern and alluring color" created by the exquisite gradation of the sheer *sha* fabric. This piece, with its simple theme, shines with originality unique to creative works. Its moderate sheerness invites coolness, and it will deliver a refreshing summer silhouette to the fashionable you. There is only a slight crease on the right sleeve from storage and a faint stain under the left chest. This is a brand new, unworn piece, only worn for photography. It is a "hand-sewn" garment with basting threads still attached. This kimono features a design-rich gradation pattern that focuses on the beauty of creative kimonos with its pale tones. It is a garment that impressively highlights a tasteful sense, along with the refreshing feeling of a summer kimono. *Bokashi* (gradation) is a dyeing technique that requires excellent color sense and delicacy. The exquisite gradation of gentle colors creates an indescribably fantastic finish. *Tsukesage* combines the advantages of *iromuji* (solid color) and *homongi* (formal visiting kimono), making it an all-around kimono that can be enjoyed in a wide range of settings. It can be worn for a long time regardless of age, depending on the coordination with the obi and accessories, which is why it is said to have "good cost performance." We highly recommend it to kimono beginners as well. "A carefully chosen selection for adults... the scenery in each person's heart," the approach to reflecting coolness is, after all, unique to summer kimonos. It showcases the understated sense of an adult woman... Please enjoy various summer outfits with different obi combinations.
