Description

Yuzen Tanmono roll in polyester crepe. This beautiful Yuzen Tanmono roll (友禅反物), woven in traditional Japanese crepe, features vibrant floral and natural motifs. Made of polyester, it offers a soft and lightweight texture, perfect for making kimonos. With a width of approximately 36 cm and a total length ranging from 11 to 13 meters, it has never been used and is ready to be transformed into an elegant garment. The fine and detailed patterns reflect the beauty of nature, ideal for sophisticated and traditional creations. Being a vintage/second-hand piece, it may show some stains or imperfections.

Kimono fabric rolls, called Tanmono (反物), are specially designed to create custom-made kimonos. A typical Tanmono measures between 11 and 13 meters in length and about 36 cm in width, providing enough fabric for a complete kimono. However, for Furisode (振袖) kimonos, which are characterized by their elegant long sleeves and formal use, it is common to use longer rolls, up to 16.5 meters, to ensure that every part of the garment is perfectly crafted.

The Yuzen Eba Tanmono (友禅絵羽), in particular, features hand-painted or hand-dyed patterns that align perfectly during sewing, creating a harmonious design. This type of roll often consists of several pre-cut pieces, connected by threads to facilitate the final assembly, ensuring a perfect fit and elegant finish.

For Furisode, additional pieces of plain fabric, around 4 meters, can also be included for linings or contrasting elements, adding even more refinement to the final garment.

Care tips

Hand wash - silk fabrics

This is a gentle and effective method of washing delicate fabrics such as silk. Cleaning with cold water and mild shampoo will be important. Avoid scrubbing the patterns too hard as this may damage them. After cleaning, rinse the fabric thoroughly with warm water to remove any shampoo residue. Avoid wringing or wringing out the fabric as this may damage it.

It is important to avoid drying these types of fabrics in direct sunlight, as this can lead to discolouration or deterioration of the fibres. Also avoid using a tumble dryer as this can damage the fibres of the fabric. Instead, place them on a clean, flat surface or hang them on a hanger to dry in the open air and shade.

Dry cleaning

Brocades, for example, are delicate and intricate fabrics that require special care when cleaning. It is recommended, if you can, to have them professionally dry cleaned to avoid damage to the fragile woven threads. This is the best way to clean these fabrics.
