Product Details
＋The fabric was made in Oshima using traditional dying techniques.
This one uses raw silk (unlike the processed machine-spun silk kimonos typically have) and was dyed in mud.
Every single line of fabric was painstakingly lined up correctly to ensure the pattern is perfect.
So, with this kimono, you're literally bringing a piece of Japan to your home.
