HONBA OHSHIMA TSUMUGI
MIZEN BLUE ~SHO~
HOMBA OHSHIMA TSUMUGI MASUYAGIHEI
HANA KASURI ~SHO(VICTORY)~ (WEFT IKAT)
HONBA OHSHIMA TSUMUGI
Homba Oshima Tsumugi is a traditional craft designated by the Minister of Economy,
Trade and Industry, originating from Amami Oshima in Kagoshima Prefecture.
It has long been immensely popular as kimono fabric, credited to its beautiful luster and smooth texture,
diverse patterns, and the world-class techniques behind them.
Though it's called Tsumugi (a type of silk fabric), in pursuit of delicate patterns,
Oshima Tsumugi has evolved remarkably by switching from Tsumugi yarn to raw silk,
achieving a smooth texture and beautiful sheen.
The 'Kasuri' created using a unique loom called 'Shimebata' is exceptionally fine compared to other Kasuri fabrics worldwide,
captivating many with its technically backed expressions.
The mud-dyeing unique to Amami Oshima also plays a significant role in branding Oshima Tsumugi.
Despite its boom as a kimono fabric, Oshima Tsumugi faces production decline due to factors like inflation,
post-war shift away from kimonos, and aging craftsman, leading to a critical situation in technique succession.
