Characteristics and condition of rolls of cloth | Second-hand and recycled rolls of cloth

This is a bolt of "Awa Shijira" cloth, an intangible cultural property of Tokushima Prefecture. The material is 100% cotton.

It is a plain greenish navy blue (Indian indigo) (see the Definitive Japanese Color Dictionary) and is woven to look like many small rectangles lined up.

Awa Shijira weave is a fabric characterized by its embossed texture, and has a similar feel to the seersucker fabric used in clothing.

It has an uneven surface, does not stick to the skin, and is light and breathable, making it a popular summer kimono.

It basically falls into the category of summer kimono, but since it is not see-through, it can also be worn as a single-layer kimono, and it is also recommended to wear it as a yukata without an undergarment during the height of summer.

It can be worn for a long period of time and can be cared for by hand washing just like cotton kimonos, or by putting it in a laundry net and washing it on hand wash mode, so it's sure to become a very popular everyday kimono!

When wearing it as a yukata, it should be paired with a half-width obi or heko obi. Also, when wearing it as a kimono, we recommend pairing this pattern with a Nagoya obi, tied in a Taiko knot or a Tsunodashi knot, for a stylish look.

This is an untailored bolt of cloth, so it is in excellent condition and can be reused.

The colour is closest to what you see in the overall photo, but it may vary slightly depending on the device you are using.
