Cootje: warme heren kimono

Cootje:

I asked my Japanese friend Keiko what would be the name of this kind of kimono for a man.
She said that it might be Wata-ire.
If anybody has another suggestion for the name, I am open to it, please let me know.

So this is a brown wata-ire, made of
outer layer : a silk pongé, painted with batik technique.
in between layer: a merino wool called Flyffel
inner layer:  an organza silk dye with the shibori technique.

these three are felted together in the 'Nuno-Felt' technique, and made into a 'wata-ire'.
Warm, light and comfortable. Large size.



内側はオーガンザシルクしぼり
外側は、ワックスレジスト技術で塗装された、いわゆるポンジェシルクです。
内側は薄いメリノウールです。

これら3つの面は、ヌーノフェルトと呼ばれる手法で一緒にフェルトされ、「着物」になります。
明るくて暖かい。
