Honshaori
This is a type of gauze made of tightly-twisted silk yarn which is produced in Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture, and Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture. Its surface texture resembles woodgrain and it combines coolness of feel and appearance with a rather elegant impression unique among silk fabrics. Honshaori is prized as a fabric for summer kimono, haori and obi.
