What is "Naginata Rectangular Dress"?
It is a rectangular dress with a sleeve shaped like a Japanese sword. It has characteristic generous sleeves.

・Made of Chizimi Cotton 20/20 Circulor washing processed fabric made by Sakao Orimono.
"20/20" means a fabric woven with 20 count threads for the warp and 20 count threads for the weft.
About the texture: It is about the thickness of a shirt fabric that can be worn all year round.
(The higher the count number, the finer the yarn and the thinner the woven fabric is.)

※As a characteristic of Kyoto Stencil Yuzen dyeing, the fabric is printed by repeating the stencil on a plain fabric. As a result, lines called "Katakuchi" may inevitably appear at places where the stencil joins.＞＞About "Katakuchi"
