Even if we have an urge to buy something, we always consider the price first and then carefully consider the details.

The bold design of the \"hidden raincoat.\" The indigo color, which continues the tradition of Kihachi Tabata, is also common to his other works. However, it was the individual lines that drew the raincoat that captivated me. Even after bringing it to the store, I could almost hear the artist's breathing as he painted it, from the brushstrokes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0489\/8652\/1761\/files\/DSC00080_480x480.jpg?v=1663052066\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWhenever I come across an intriguing piece of art, I find myself pondering the meaning of the subject matter. Why did I choose the hidden raincoat, a well-known part of the treasure collection, as the main motif? While the hidden hat is a masculine design, the hidden raincoat is said to be a feminine design. It is a design meant to protect oneself from disaster. The hidden raincoat also appears in the Kamakura period war chronicle \"Hogen Monogatari,\" which describes how \"when worn, one becomes invisible.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Just as the \"Chaya-tsuji\" pattern that has been painted by the Tabata family for generations is said to represent the culture of the upper class, the hidden raincoat is also a historic pattern that originated in Japan. However, I can't help but think that the beautiful design itself, the series of thin lines on the hidden raincoat, was something that he came up with and couldn't help but paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Tabata family motto states that the wearer is the \"flower leader.\" The person wearing the kimono is the main character, and the kimono is meant to highlight the flower leader.

It all started when I read the words of Shunichiro Yokoyama, the father of Megumi Yokoyama, who wove this fabric, in a book by author Wahei Tatematsu. Every time I reread it, my heart warms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Sansaiyama Tsumugi is passed on from kimono shops with specialized dyeing and weaving skills to kimono lovers. It is a plant-dyed and hand-woven item, but because it adheres to a consistent and consistent production process, the number of pieces is naturally limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Misaizan Tsumugi, described in the aforementioned book as \"born from within the family,\" is a tsumugi that was born in the context of Shinshu Tsumugi and the folk craft movement, and has been established and continued by the Yokoyama family. Although it is called Misaizan Tsumugi, it can be said to be the work of an individual artist. Currently, most of the work is carried out by Shunichiro's three daughters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAmong plant-dyed textiles, there are actually not many that are made using plants obtained from the land. This pale yellow is dyed with chestnuts and onions picked from Yokoyama's fields and the mountain behind his home (known as \"Dye Mountain\"). They pick and dye the plants with their own hands. Unless we live with the plants, our imagination is required. This is a dyeing and weaving that is closely connected to our daily lives, and is the result of repeated dialogue with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The colors of plants change surprisingly depending on the environment they are placed in. The latticework creates a subdued \"yellow\" for mature women, but when you hold it up close and the light changes, you are struck by the stunningly beautiful color expression. You can see that the delicate overlapping of colors was carefully considered in the weaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe attention to detail in the process goes beyond the plants used as dyes. When it comes to refining silk thread, while enzyme refining is the mainstream, we have chosen the traditional straw refining (lye refining). Refining with lye, which is obtained by burning straw, is not the most efficient method, as it requires the acquisition of straw and the skills to produce a consistent finish. However, this more natural refining method creates the luster, texture, and color of the silk that form the basis of our works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The weave is a plain weave, with silk tsumugi thread used for the weft. Sanzaiyama Tsumugi is characterized by its plain weave, but perhaps this is a plain weave that brings out the colors of the plants, the texture of the refined straw, and the refined design to the fullest. It is a fabric that focuses on the practical aspect of \"wearing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e[Product details]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 100% silk\u003cbr\u003e (Weft: Silk thread)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Width of roll: 38cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e[Tailoring]\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt will be hand-sewn by a Japanese dressmaker.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe tailoring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e・Lined\/Single layered\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou can choose from the following.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Lined Tailoring\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This price includes the cost of lining, hakama, steaming, and hand-sewn tailoring. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e For lined kimonos, you can choose the color of the hakama.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Please note down the number from \u003ca title=\"Kimono KUREHA - Color Sample Book\" href=\"https:\/\/k-kureha.myshopify.com\/pages\/%E8%89%B2%E8%A6%8B%E6%9C%AC%E5%B8%B3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethis color sample book.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease write your note in the \"Add a note to your order\" section\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ein your cart\u003c\/span\u003e .\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Of course, you can also contact us by phone after placing your order.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e We will suggest the best color for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Single-layer kimono \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes gusset, collar lining, steaming, and hand-stitching.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e[Delivery time]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e It \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eusually takes around two months\u003c\/span\u003e .\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e If you are in a hurry, please contact us before applying.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e We will contact you once the garment is ready and then ship it to you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"kimono KUREHA","offers":[{"title":"Only rolls of fabric","offer_id":42632555397281,"sku":null,"price":352000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single layer tailoring fee included","offer_id":42632555430049,"sku":null,"price":402600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single layer tailoring fee + pearl tone processing included","offer_id":42632555462817,"sku":null,"price":418000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Includes lined tailoring fee","offer_id":42632555495585,"sku":null,"price":428000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lined tailoring + pearl tone processing included","offer_id":42632555528353,"sku":null,"price":443400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0489\/8652\/1761\/files\/DSC00355.jpg?v=1756802430"},{"product_id":"東京染小紋-九寸名古屋帯-グラス-江戸小紋","title":"[Tokyo Dyeing Komon] 9-inch Nagoya Obi Glass [Edo Komon]","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e *Please inquire about the price.
