ABOUT THE DESIGN -Kintoto-
This textile is characterized by a sashiko-inspired weave, with different textures on the front and back. From the front, the pattern emerges as a collection of dots that form a checkered design, while from the back, the fabric has a distinctive tweed-like appearance as if it were hand-stitched. The combination of threads with varying thicknesses creates a textured surface with a slight puffy effect, resulting from differences in shrinkage rates.
The term kintoto is an old word for "goldfish," adding a playful and nostalgic touch to the design.
Measurements: 218cm L x 34cm W / 86 inches x 14 inches
Materials: 100% Wool
Dry clean only, low iron
Made in Japan
*Please note that due to the nature of natural fibers, there may be slight variations in the actual dimensions.
