Tango Chirimen Solid Color Kimono Fabric - Itchinzome (resist-dyeing technique)

This is a solid-colored kimono dyed using the historic Itchindome technique, a Tango chirimen silk. It has a smooth, silky feel and is made of a material that is resistant to wrinkles. Itchindome Dyeing: This dyeing technique, which became popular in the Muromachi period, uses a paste called Itchin-nori, made primarily from wheat flour, udon flour, and lime, to prevent the dye from penetrating certain areas. The paste cracks when dried, and the dye seeps into the cracks, resulting in a pattern called ice crack. It has one family crest (ivy) on the back. - Color: Green - Design: Solid - Style: Kimono Length from shoulder: Approximately 172cm 裄 Length: Approximately 68.5cm Sleeve width: Approximately 35cm Sleeve length: Approximately 52.5cm Hem length: Approximately 82cm Overlap width: Approximately 15cm Front width: Approximately 25cm Back width: Approximately 30cm The seller is approximately 166cm tall.
