I was given this kimono from my mother as a tanmono, role of cloth. My mother got it from her sister. At that time, I was in kimono school, and a kimono tailor was there. I picked the lining fabric with him and asked him to tailor it. This was my first tsumugi kimono and I really like it. It is very comfortable because it is my size, easy to wear tidily and to move in because the fabric is not slippery. My character is fond of things that are sharp and hard. Mainly, I wear this tsumugi for tea ceremony practice. I often wear an unlined Nagoya obi with this kimono, casually.

この着物がまだ反物だった時に、叔母が母に譲り、母が私に譲ってくれました。

ちょうどその時、着物を習っている最中で、着物の学校には仕立て屋さんが来ていたので、裾まわしの色を一緒に選んでもらい、お仕立てをお願いしました。これが私にとって初めての紬で、とても着やすくて気に入っています。サイズが合っていることも着やすさの理由ですが、着る時に布がすべらず、綺麗に着られて動きやすいです。性格的にも、カチッとした硬いものが好みです。主にお茶のお稽古の時に着ています。八寸帯と合わせることが多く、気軽に楽しんでいます。
