★ Handmade & Handwoven - Vintage japanese silk coin purse - kiss lock clasp and gold metal frame - DORO OSHIMA TSUMUGI Gamaguchi - ASANOHA ★
ASANOHA depicts a geometric design of hemp leaves. Hemp has long been an important plant in Japan, being the primary clothing fiber along with silk, until the 17th century when cotton was introduced to Japan. It represents growth and good health.
Oshima Tsumugi carries the world's most finest pattern, because vertical and holizontal threads are woven matually. Weavers can only weave 30cm a day and takes about two months to make one roll.
Dorosome or mud-dyeing, is an all natural fabric dyeing technique that can only be found in Amami Oshima; it's not possible anywhere else in the world.
