“Tsumugi ori” is one of Japan’s famous dyeing techniques. Because it is carefully made with silk, it has been widely used in Japanese traditional clothing since ancient times.
Therefore, in this article, we will review an overview of “Tsumugi ori” and pick out some recommended kimono.
What is “Tsumugi ori“?
“Tsumugi ori” is a silk fabric made from carefully spun silk threads made from silk cocoons, which are considered unsuitable for raw silk production. Compared to silk made from raw silk, it has less luster and a unique smooth texture, and has a rustic feel.
Most often, striped or kasuri patterns are expressed in “Tsumugi ori”, but today, by combining various colors, non-traditional gradations and other patterns have also appeared.
