This is a woven fabric produced by only a few companies in Shiga and Kyoto from the Meiji to the Showa periods. It is sold by the 50cm cut. The reverse side is water-repellent, and the fabric width is a wide 56.5cm, making it versatile. It is said that the manufacturing craftsmen have almost disappeared, and it is treated as a phantom fabric. Due to the highly advanced techniques required by the craftsmen, it is now almost impossible to obtain. Especially, expressing iridescent colors or continuous curved patterns like seigaiha (waves) with pile weaving requires very high skill. Photos will be added as needed. Solid colors: Red, Pink, Purple, Orange (2900 yen / 50cm) Iridescent colors (3800 yen / 50cm) Stripes (4800 yen / 50cm) Wana pattern with black kikko (tortoise shell pattern) (4800 yen / 50cm) Seigaiha (5800 yen / 50cm) The last two photos are of the rarest ribbon weave (6800 yen / 50cm). It is not water-repellent. Because it is a special silk fabric, it is thick and a little difficult to process for reupholstering chairs, but it was possible to apply. You can save on shipping costs if you buy multiple items, so please ask. Because of the fabric width, it is ideal not only for geta straps, zori bases, zori wrapping, and bags, but also for furniture and accessories and decorations for traditional crafts. *The listed price is for solid colors other than the iridescent colors, for a 50cm cut. We will cut it to your desired length.
