起源は19世紀初期。八丁撚絲機によりよこ絲に強撚を加え、湯もみをして獨特のしぼを作り出す。清涼感あふれる薄地風がその最大の特徴。戰前には夏物の着尺地として一世を風靡した。

This weave originated in the early 19th century, and was once very popular as a summer time kimono fabric because of its particular coolness. It is woven with strongly plyed weft threads, and then washed in hot water to create its distinctive wrinkle.
