SASHIKO on a 200 year old Noragi (19th century)
🇯🇵The kimono referred to any type of clothing . This is also the literal translation: "clothing that one wears on oneself" ( kiru And mono ).
Nowadays, it refers to the long traditional Japanese dress , worn by both women and men. It takes the shape of a T, composed of large rectangles sewn or folded, never cut. Contrary to what one might think, it is a really complex garment in its construction.
It was the women of the family who spun the flax and hemp (asa) and then wove it. These operations were carried out by hand for several centuries, until the arrival of looms and other wheels. This knowledge was passed down from mother to daughter and the "NORAGI" were passed down from generation to generation.
