【Jiomatsu (Ramie fiber)】
The condition is particularly good with no noticeable stains or dirt.
400 years ago, the wife wove a jōfu (ramie cloth) for her husband, who was promoted for his achievements recognized by the Ryukyu Kingdom,
and as a token of gratitude, presented it to the king, which is considered the beginning of Miyako jōfu.
It is full of high dignity and was designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Asset by the government in Showa 53 (1978).
The rustic warmth of hand-spun, the suppleness that is hard to believe is made of ramie,
and the firmness with a crispness—ultimate admiration,
One of Japan’s four great jōfu, "Miyako jōfu"
Miyako jōfu begins with thread making,
carefully cultivated ramie fibers are split thinly using fingers or nails,
then carefully twisted and spun into thread by hand, and woven according to a pattern,
dyed with natural dyes such as indigo and fukugi, and carefully handwoven,
finished with a process called "washing," which includes sizing and kinuta (wooden hammer) pounding,
making it a supreme handmade product.
It is very lightweight, with excellent elasticity and luster, resulting in a superb item.
The cool, exceptional feel on the skin is Miyako jōfu.
Even skilled artisans only weave about 30cm per day with fine pattern matching,
and the elegant, beautiful kasane-hishi (diamond) pattern is woven on a black indigo background.
A beautiful item born from the blessings of nature and human effort,
carefully woven starting from growing ramie.
Please enjoy the ultimate comfort of the highest summer kimono.
It is a very high-quality, exquisite piece.
We are offering it at a low price, so please take this opportunity.
