Ojiya chijimi
|
Ojiya chijimi has been produced in the Ojiya district of Niigata Prefecture
for about 300 years. It is a summer fabric for kimono characterized by a
crimp produced by a special process of twisting the weft threads. Recently,
Ojiya chijimi has been massproduced, substituting ramie yarn for hand-spun
linen. Very little of the fabric is now made in the traditional way.
