https://www.okujun.co.jp/hataori/
Yuki Tsumugi is a high-quality silk fabric that is produced entirely by hand. Because it is made of silk, it has luster and lightness, and is beautiful and durable.
As the name suggests, it is woven using pongee thread spun from floss by hand and contains a lot of air, so you can feel the softness and warmth, so there are many fans.
It also has the characteristics of being durable and wrinkle-resistant, so you can enjoy the process of the texture becoming better and more comfortable the more you wear it and use it for a long time.
Yuuki Tsumugi’s Recommended Kimono
There are various kinds of kimonos made with Yuki Tsumugi, but we will introduce some of them in this article.
Yuki Tsumugi of the highest peak
Although it looks black, Yuki Tsumugi is a deep navy blue color. It is no exaggeration to say that the 160-Yama Kasuri tsume kasuri is a rare gem because the spinning craftsmen are getting older and it is no longer possible to produce ultra-fine floss yarn suitable for 160-Yama Kato. It is undoubtedly the best Yuki Tsumugi, and we cannot help but be convinced that the price is commensurate with the quality.
