Item Details and Description
Characteristics: A plain woven silk fabric with pre-dyed scoured threads both for warp and weft. The color is refined and calm and the fabric is soft and difficult to wrinkle. Threads are dyed with plant dyes such as "Techiki" (Raphilolepis umbellata) and indigo (Persicaria tinctoria) with a technique, peculiar only to "Oshima Tsumugi," called "Ori Jime." As a variety, an additional treatment is made to the dyed thread by dipping them in muddy water. It is "Doro(mud) Zome(dyeing)." There are several kinds of "Oshima Tsumugi":"Doro Oshima," "Ai(indigo) Oshima," "Doro Ai Oshima," "Iro(color) Oshima" and "Natsu(summer) Oshima."
Fabric Description Details:

X 2.5in.(5.08cm X6.4cm) and with smaller plus-sign shapes ( 1 inch squared) and three connected diamond shapes in rows and columns (please view closeups); The mud/Doro-dyed fabric is a dark brown and all designs are tan-colored, made by tiny pixelated lines and shapes; fabric has no sheen but is slightly textured to the touch due to the type weaving/dyeing; minimal drape.
