This hitoe kimono crafted from woven ramie-fibre exhibits bold 'kiri' (paulownia) on 'sauwastika' motifs. With a crisp and 'dry' texture due to the combination of ramie wefts and silk warps, this kimono stands 51 inches (130 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and measures 63 inches (160 cm) in height. The 'chijimi' kimono, fashioned from ramie threads spun from natural Choma, bear Shibo - fine, wavy wrinkles - due to secure weaving. These fabrics are adored for their breathability, lightness, and cooling properties, often favored for summer kimono. The term 'sauwastika' distinguishes the left-facing form of the swastika symbol, a revered Buddhist emblem symbolizing light, life, health, peace, and wealth. Despite minor collar holes (one patched), it remains in good condition.
