3) Ojiya-chijimi Hemp for the Thong
Ojiya-chijimi is a high-quality 100% ramie woven fabric produced around Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture. The distinct 'shibo' (unevenness) created by strongly twisting the weft threads and massaging them in hot water creates a smooth, cool wearing feel that does not stick to the skin. It is a representative summer kimono material registered as a National Important Intangible Cultural Property and a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
