[Raw hemp, unused]
The condition is particularly good with no noticeable stains or dirt.
400 years ago, recognized for achievements by the Ryukyu Kingdom, and promoted
The wife wove jofu 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 high dignity and elegance.
In Showa 53 (1978), it was designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of the country.
The rustic warmth of hand-spun, the suppleness that is hard to believe is made of hemp,
and the firmness with resilience.
The ultimate longing, one of Japan’s four major jofu, "Miyako Jofu".
Miyako Jofu begins with the process of making the thread,
Carefully cultivated raw hemp fibers are split thinly using fingers or nails,
Then carefully twisted and spun into yarn by hand, and woven according to a pattern,
Dyed with natural dyes such as indigo and fukugi, then carefully handwoven.
Finished with a process called "washing," which includes sizing and pounding with a mallet (kinuta),
making it a supreme handmade product.
It is very lightweight, with excellent elasticity and luster, resulting in a superb item.
The cool, exceptional feel of the fabric is unique to Miyako Jofu.
Even skilled artisans can only weave about 30cm of intricate pattern per day,
The elegant and beautiful overlapping hana-bishi pattern is woven on a dark indigo background.
Born from the blessings of nature and human effort, this is a beautiful item,
Carefully woven starting from cultivating the hemp.
Please enjoy the highest comfort of summer wear, said to be the pinnacle.
This is a very high-quality, exquisite piece.
We are offering it at a low price, so please take this opportunity.
