This small geometric design is particular to the Oshima style of dying. Looking closely, areas of pure mud dye become visible, as do bright blue dots of indigo . This exceptional piece of textile craftsmanship is millimeter-perfect, requiring generational experience. The result is a densensely woven, drapy, heavy kimono that shimmers in the light and rewards close-up inspection of each fibre.
