NOTES about this fabric: This is a printed fabric. True Kasuri patterns are hand dyed and woven through a highly skilled process rarely done anymore. Kasuri refers to the way the pattern is made. Wagara refers to "Japanese +pattern" which translates for us into "cloth item decorated with designs that are particular to Japan".
This is one of the Olympus Takumi series fabrics. Olympus fabrics are always very high quality. They take care to re-create traditional fabrics as close as possible to the look and feel of the original artisan made fabric, while still making them colourfast and machine wash & dry for our modern day uses.
One of the details you can notice in the Takumi series is that they have printed the traditional patterns and motifs on a specially made greyed fabric background which gives the the fabric the more subtle tones of an older style fabric. You may also enjoy the lightly textured feel of the cloth.
