Hitokoshi-Chirimen is the one of Chirimen fabric. Alternately woven with one S-twisted and one Z-twisted weft yarns.

 

Chirimen is a fabric that uses yarn with almost no twist warp threads, and is alternately woven with strongly S-twisted and strongly Z-twisted weft threads. Therefore, with scouring, the cloth shrinks and the texture appears on the surface of the fabric with desired irregularities. There are many different type of Chirimen. 

 

Hiki-Furisode (Ohikizuri) is a wedding kimono. It has cotton in the hem line to be trail. 

 

I assume this kimono from before WWII. 

Some embroidery are coming off, gold paint is easily come off.

It is a very beautiful item to hang on the wall for decoration.
