■About the product
What is "Rectangular Dress" ...
As the name implies, it is a rectangular-shaped clothing. The design is based on "Kantoui (a clothing that opens a hole in the center of the fabric to let the head pass through)" in the Yayoi period.
What is "Kumi" bi-color ?
The design of pairing up two different colors or fabrics looks like "kigumi", the craft of jointing wood in wooden architecture in Japan, when viewed from the sides.
※This product is made of textiles with glitter / pigment.
・Made using Chizimi Cotton 20/20 Circulor washing-processed fabric by Sakao Orimono.
“20/20” refers to fabric woven with 20-count yarn for both the warp and the weft.
About the texture: Similar to shirt-weight fabric suitable for year-round wear.
(The higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn and the thinner the fabric.)
・Dyed with Kyoto Stencil Yuzen Dyeing technique.
・With side pockets.
※As a characteristic of Kyoto Stencil Yuzen Dyeing, the fabric is printed by repeating the stencil on a plain fabric. As a result, lines called "Katakuchi" may inevitably appear at places where the stencil joins.
＞About Katakuchi
※Due to the nature of the dyeing process, uneven color or fading may occur.
※Due to the nature of hand-printing, slight screen displacement may occur but it is a feature of dyeing.
※Pattern placement will vary from piece to piece due to the manufacturing process. Customers cannot specify the print.
[About Dyeing of Chizimi Cotton]
When dyeing Chizimi Cotton, color may not fully penetrate into the deeper crepe texture of the fabric.
【About Chizimi Cotton】
・Produced in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, with a long history dating back to the Edo period. Strongly twisted weft yarn creates a distinctive crepe texture that feels cool and breathable.
・Because the textured surface reduces contact with the skin and allows moisture to evaporate easily, it is said to lower the perceived temperature by about 2°C.
・Excellent sweat absorption, quick-drying, breathability, moisture absorption, and moisture release properties.
・Takashima chizimi cotton, which has benefited from the natural resources of Lake Biwa, boasts the highest production in Japan.
※Chizimi Cotton 20/20 Circulor washing fabric may have a slightly different shrinkage ratio depending on the color/pattern due to the dyeing process.
The Circulor washing-processed fabric used in this product has elasticity (Stretch rate: approx. 120%), making it comfortable and easy to move in.
・There is possibility that glitters and dye will transfer. Please wash separately with other clothes.
・Please wash in a laundry net.
・Please avoid hand washing as it has a weak draining power. Dyes may dissolve in water and cause color transfer or bleeding.

・Since there is a risk of color transfer, please use a neutral detergent and dry in the shade immediately after washing.
・As there may be color transfer, please wash it separately from white or light-colored items.

・The colour may transfer to other items due to friction whilst wearing.
