I'm now introducing several kinds of Yuzen Chirimen Crepe fabrics after so many requests from my customers for Atelier JADE
http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~atelierj/
Yuzen Chirimen uses a traditional stencil dyeing technique ever since 8th century in Kyoto area. It is traditionally made of silk, but these days it's made of rayon or polyester.
The texture is so delicate and gentle. And the traditional patterns are so gorgeous. But please take good care of it as it will shrink if you soak in water (hot or cold).
You'll experience totaly new fabric with beautiful colors and gorgeous texture. Traditional "kanzashi", bag and other small zakka things have been made of Chirimen for hundreds years in Japan. Enjoy the Japanese tradition in modern way!

So very beautiful!
Hi Gina.
They're really beautiful.
Not even the design of the fabric, but the texture is so damn good!
I love those! I'm scared to use the silky fabrics, though, until I can learn to sew a bit better.
Hi, handmade girl.
I was afraid before I started to sew with Chirimen.
But this one is easy to sew, and I do recommend manual sewing as it hides all uneven stitches!!
so pretty, what are you going to make, Kumi?
Hi Mimie.
I've been making rose corsage out of them!
Wish I could feel the texture, we need "feeling world wide web"! So your visitors could actually touch a sample on their screen : )
Hi Gina.
That would be so great!
I love to have "smelling" function as well!
very lovely fabric kumi!
