The striped pattern, which was popular among commoners during the Edo period, was brought to Japan through the Nanban trade. The name "Shima" (縞) is said to originate from the fact that it was called "shimawatari" or "shimamono" because it was introduced from the southern islands. Commoners in Edo created various striped patterns and enjoyed the "iki" (chic/stylish) aesthetic. "Mansuji" (万筋) is a very fine vertical striped pattern, named to mean that ten thousand fine stripes are incorporated. Fine, brushstroke-like dark brown stripes are crossed by weft threads, creating a complex pattern by breaking the stripes. The fabric, woven from threads pre-dyed with "kakishibu-zome" (persimmon tannin dyeing), has a deep texture with a woven pattern created by the natural unevenness of the dyeing process, giving each piece a unique expression. The ground color and pattern tones are close, creating a delicate and calm aesthetic that complements any space. The fabric has a roughly woven texture and a dobby weave that feels comfortable in the hand.
