Sumi Ink: Black India Ink
40% Linen / 30% Ramie / 30% Cotton
Original material woven on old-style looms at a historic loom in the Bishu region. Cotton in the warp, compact cotton spun in the weft, ramie and linen in the weft. The warp yarns are made of two different cotton yarns of different counts, which gives a three-dimensional stripe pattern to the plain weave.
By alternating one ramie and one linen thread in the weft, the fabric has moderate firmness and a good expression of thread knots.
The fabric is robust in contrast to its delicate appearance. The stiffness of the linen dissolves with repeated wear and the fabric develops a smooth, antique-like texture.
