A note on this fabric: "Tsumugi" (woven, not dyed)
Kimono can be broadly divided into two fabric types: yarn-dyed ("ORI") and post-dyed ("SOME").
Yarn-dyed fabrics ("ORI") are dyed while still in the thread, then woven. Typical examples are "tsumugi", "omeshi", and cotton "kasuri". Tsumugi is especially popular in Japan today, often in simple designs.
Post-dyed fabrics ("SOME") are woven from undyed white thread, then finished with techniques such as "komon", "bingata", or "yuzen" dyeing. I feel that the kimono people overseas imagine is usually this "SOME" type — the smooth, glossy, satin-like silk of a yuzen kimono or scarf.
This skirt is made from "Oshima Tsumugi" kimono — one of several distinct styles of tsumugi weave. Its finely patterned, tightly woven surface sets it apart from other tsumugi, with a dry, textured, matte character quite different from the smooth, liquid feel of satin silk. That distinctive texture is the nature of tsumugi, not a flaw.
Every piece is vintage and one of a kind.
