【Ramie】
The condition is as shown in the close-up images
There are slight stains on the collar lining, but
the rest of the outer fabric is in particularly good condition with no noticeable stains or dirt.
400 years ago, recognized for achievements by the Ryukyu Kingdom, and promoted
A wife wove jofu (hemp cloth) for her husband, and as a token of gratitude, presented it to the king, which is said to be the beginning of Miyako Jofu.
It is filled with a noble dignity
and in 1978 (Showa 53), it was designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Asset of the country.
The rustic warmth inherent in hand-spun, the remarkable flexibility that defies the typical stiffness of hemp,
and the firmness with resilience.
The ultimate admiration, one of Japan’s four great jofu, "Miyako Jofu".
Miyako Jofu begins with the process of making the thread,
carefully tearing the cultivated ramie fibers using fingers or nails,
then skillfully twisting and spinning them into yarn by hand, following a pattern of kasuri (ikat) tying,
dyed with natural dyes such as indigo and fukugi, then carefully handwoven,
and finished with a process called "sentaku" (washing), which involves sizing and pounding (kinuta-uchi),
making it a supreme handcrafted item.
It is very lightweight, with excellent elasticity and luster, resulting in a superb product.
The cool, exceptional feel of Miyako Jofu is unique.
Even skilled artisans can only weave about 30cm per day in intricate kasuri patterns,
featuring an elegant and beautiful overlapping hana-bishi (flower diamond) pattern on a deep indigo background.
A beautiful piece born from the blessings of nature and human effort,
carefully woven from the cultivation of ramie.
Enjoy the highest comfort of summer wear, said to be the pinnacle.
This is a very high-quality, exquisite item.
It is offered at a low price, so please take this opportunity.
