Hon-Shiozawa
Fine Silk Crepe of Shiozawa
A pre-dyed silk fabric with a cool, slightly crisp hand and moderate body that prevents the garment from collapsing even when worn as a single layer.
Fine cross (jujigasuri) and hexagonal (kikkogasuri) ikat patterns produce an intricate, richly detailed appearance.
After weaving at a wider width, a unique hot-water fulling (yu-momi) process shrinks the cloth to its finished width — a technique found nowhere else but Shiozawa.
