Ivory Misty Kasuri Tsumugi

A refined tsumugi silk kimono woven in delicate ivory-white, its surface marked by fine vertical striations that create a softly textured ground. Subtle kasuri (ikat) dashes in pale pink and faint gray geometric lines drift across the silk like brushstrokes on mist — forming a quiet, abstract lattice that feels both natural and intentional.
The restrained palette and gently blurred pattern embody the essence of wabi-sabi beauty — serenity, imperfection, and transience — while the handwoven tsumugi silk lends a tactile warmth prized in everyday elegance.
Likely from the late Shōwa era (circa 1970s–1980s), this piece reflects a shift toward minimalist, nature-inspired design, where subtle texture replaced ornate decoration.
A kimono of calm refinement — whispering of spring light through haze, and the artistry found in simplicity.
