[SHORTDESCRIPTION]
ABOUT THE DESIGN -Kintoto-
This textile is characterized by a sashiko-inspired weave, with different textures on the front and back. From the front, the pattern emerges as a collection of dots that form a checkered design, while from the back, the fabric has a distinctive tweed-like appearance as if it were hand-stitched. The combination of threads with varying thicknesses creates a textured surface with a slight puffy effect, resulting from differences in shrinkage rates.
The term kintoto is an old word for "goldfish," adding a playful and nostalgic touch to the design.
