【Ramie & Batik collar】
The condition is very good with no noticeable stains or dirt.

400 years ago, the beginning of Miyako Jōfu is said to have started when a wife wove a jōfu cloth for her husband, who was promoted for his achievements recognized by the Ryukyu Kingdom, and presented it to the king as a token of gratitude.
It is said that the origin of Miyako Jōfu was when it was presented to the king as a token of gratitude.
It is full of high-class dignity and was designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan in Showa 53 (1978).

The rustic warmth of hand-spun, the supple softness that defies the image of hemp,
and the firmness with elasticity—ultimate admiration,
One of Japan’s four great Jōfu fabrics, "Miyako Jōfu"

Miyako Jōfu begins with thread-making,
Carefully cultivated ramie fibers are split thinly using fingers or nails,
Then twisted and spun into thread by hand, and woven according to a pattern,
Dyed with natural dyes such as indigo and fukugi, then carefully hand-woven,
Finished with a process called "washing," which includes sizing and pounding (kinuta-uchi),
It is a supreme handmade product.

And it is very lightweight, with wonderful elasticity and luster, resulting in an excellent item.
The cool, exceptional feel on the skin is Miyako Jōfu.

Even skilled artisans only weave about 30cm per day with fine pattern matching,
The elegant and beautiful overlapping hana-bishi pattern is woven on a deep navy background.

A beautiful item born from the blessings of nature and human effort,
Carefully cultivated ramie is woven with particular attention to detail.
Please enjoy the supreme comfort of the finest summer kimono.

It is a very high-quality, exquisite piece.
We are offering it at a low price, so please take this opportunity.

There are some wrinkles from wear.

We strive to photograph as close to the actual color as possible, but there may be slight differences.

If the seam allowance length is asymmetrical, the shorter side is noted.
Please note that we cannot accept returns or discounts due to asymmetry.

Please understand in advance.

We do not conduct inspection. Thank you for your understanding.

Since our products are one-of-a-kind, prices may change depending on the season and stock status.
