・The softness of silk and the durability of cotton, the best characteristics of each, are utilized.
・The overall luster and transparent color are attractive.
・Dyes that do not fade easily are used.

～Tatamiberi～
・Kojima, Kurashiki City accounts for about 80% of national production. It is a traditional industry that has continued for about 150 years.
・The material is strong and glossy, so you can tie a fluffy obi knot or a classy knot that makes use of its luster.

～Shichisai Zome～
・This refers to the dyeing of gold and silver pigments on silk denim.
・The design is inspired by the image of “space.”
・Each piece is dyed by hand by a traditional craftsman.

[Precautions]

・The decorative knot is sewn in place to keep its shape, so please do not pull on the wings too strongly.
・When all the stitches are undone, it returns to a single half-width obi.
・Strong friction or sweat may cause the gold and silver ink to fade or transfer.

[A message from the owner]

Thank you for visiting the KIMONO Terrasse website.
KIMONO Terrasse products were created in 2017 using modern materials and contemporary designs.

Obi were originally thin strips of fabric. During the mid-Edo period, with the end of wars and the stabilization of people's lives, clothing culture flourished. &nbsp;
Obi became longer and wider than before, with patterns woven into them, transforming them into beautiful crafts. &nbsp;
People began to enjoy the beauty of the colors and patterns of obi, as well as the beauty of how they were tied. &nbsp;
In Japan, the tradition of giving “long items” to loved ones as a wish for longevity and happiness is still carried on today.

Kimonos are also long strips of fabric before they are tailored. Like obi, they are given as “long items” to wish for the happiness of loved ones.

Kimonos are also worn by wrapping them around the body.
In Japan, there has been a culture of wrapping gifts for loved ones or important items in cloth such as furoshiki since ancient times.
Everything that is wrapped, including you wearing a kimono, is important.
