Takashima Chijimi Fabric

Takashima Chijimi is a textile with history dating back to the Edo period.
With its production area located at the west coast of Lake Biwa, the texture features a strong “twist” only on the weft yarn, resulting in an uneven surface.
Because the surface area which contacts the skin is small, it is smooth textured, high absorbent, and quick drying. These make it a perfect material for Japan’s hot and humid summers. Also suitable for hot climate area.
