Its history is long, having been woven in this land for 400 years. Even today, it continues to support Japan's traditional beauty as a major textile-producing region loved not only in Japan but also around the world. The fabric is woven on shuttle looms dating back to the Meiji era or equivalent. Because the fabric is woven slowly, production volume is not high, but this gentle process creates a unique, soft texture without stressing the material. Furthermore, the perfectly straight selvedge edges are both durable and supple, and the fabric surface is exceptionally beautiful. 《Product Details》 - Material: 100% Cotton, Made in Japan, using Chita-momen - Includes a small care instruction tag.
