New Textiles: Danzome Dyed Raw Silk Floss Weave
This textile's base matrix is based on the classic 'worn out kesa' Buddhist priest robe pattern. Upon this, we weave thick, luxurious raw silk yarn that has been dyed in the traditional danzome technique and then woven in the traditional 'hikibaku-sochi' obi (kimono sash) weaving technique.
