Typical examples are “tsumugi”, “omeshi”, and cotton “kasuri”. Tsumugi is especially popular in Japan today, often in simple designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePost-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis haori is an \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e“Tsumugi”\u003c\/span\u003e — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvery piece is vintage and one of a kind.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*If you need a different size, the same skirt can be made to order to your measurements.
