【Jute Linen】
The condition has repair marks on the outer fabric's sleeve area.

400 years ago, in recognition of his achievements, a wife wove a hemp cloth for her husband who was promoted 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-class dignity and was designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of the country in Showa 53 (1978).

The rustic warmth inherent in hand-spun textiles, with a suppleness that is hard to believe for linen,
and the firmness with elasticity—ultimate admiration,
One of Japan’s four great Jōfu, "Miyako Jōfu"

Miyako Jōfu begins with thread-making,
carefully cultivated jute fibers are split thinly using fingers or nails,
then carefully spun by twisting with fingers into thread, and woven according to the 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-uchi),
making it a supreme handmade product.

Furthermore, it is extremely lightweight, with wonderful 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 overlapping hana-bishi (flower diamond) pattern is woven into a deep indigo background.

A beautiful item born from the blessings of nature and human effort,
carefully woven starting from cultivating the jute.
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.

※ Length of about 150cm can be tailored.
※ The repair marks on the outer fabric are on the sleeve area.

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

If the length of the sewing is asymmetrical, the shorter side is noted.
Please note that we cannot accept returns or discounts even if asymmetrical, so please purchase with understanding.

Please note that inspections are not conducted.

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

For items marked "Washable Kimono," we cannot accept returns after washing the product upon delivery.
Please have it cleaned at a specialty store just in case.

Due to limited photos, only one reference image per area is provided regarding the condition.
