[O'shima tsumugi]
It is produced in O'shimagun, Amami-Islands, Kagoshima.
The color is refined and calm and the fabric is soft and difficult to wrinkle. Threads are dyed with plant dyes such as indigo using a technique characteristic of "O'shima Tsumugi," called "Ori Jime."
As a variety, an additional treatment is made to the dyed thread by dipping them in muddy water; It is called "Doro(mud) Zome(dyeing)."
Marki is a unit of Oshima Tsumugi that tells how many Kasuri warps were used to weave it. High-maruki products can weave more delicate and complex patterns, and a weaver needs well-trained skills and efforts to create them.
There are several kinds of O'shima Tsumugi;
"Doro O'shima"
"Ai(indigo) O'shima"
"Doro Ai O'shima"
"Iro(color) O'shima"
"Natsu(summer) O'shima"
"Gas O'shima"(burned thread)
"warikomi kasuri" and so on.
