Country of origin: Japan
100% Non-classified fiber (Japanese paper)
Product Features
In addition to enjoying the lightweight yet smooth touch that is a feature of paper yarn, you can feel traditional Japanese culture from the beautiful hues and unique texture created by indigo dyeing.
In addition, the pattern is woven using a special technique called kasuri weaving. In this technique, the threads for the pattern are tied together with vinyl tape and then dyed with indigo. Then, the vinyl tape is unraveled and woven to reveal the white pattern in the areas that were not dyed with indigo.
As a result, the outline of the pattern appears slightly shifted and blurred, creating a unique handmade texture that cannot be reproduced by the method of dyeing pre-woven cloth.
