These exquisite bolts are a testament to the enduring legacy of "Takasago Chirimen 高砂縮緬," a luxurious silk fabric revered for its delicate crepe texture and traditionally used in high-quality dyeing processes. Adorned with 400 individual patterns arranged in a fan-like display, each design is a narrative piece of Edo's extensive history. Interspersed with the aoi motifs symbolic of the Tokugawa clan, these bolts echo the era's splendor. Crafted by the recognized traditional craftsman Tomita Kosuke, the name is synonymous with the preservation and celebration of Tokyo's dyeing traditions. As heirlooms of the Tomita lineage, which has championed the art of Edo Komon and Edo Sarasa dyeing by the Kanda River for over a century, these fabric bolts are a collector's dream. They come in their original wooden box, slightly worn, which may show signs of the fabric's journey through time, including potential stains, adding to their authentic charm. Dimensions of a silk roll: approx. H 37 cm L 1350 cm ・Please make sure to review all the provided information and images before placing your bid. ・We make every effort to accurately represent the product's colors and textures in our photos.
