KIMONO

Chirimen The warp threads and woof threads are twisted during the weaving process, and by placing the woven fabric in warm water, the fabric shrinks to create wrinkles.
Hama Chirimen A Chirimen style which was specially developed in the Nagahama area in Shiga prefecture.	Hitokoshi Chirimen The wrinkles are finer. Each warp is twisted clockwise and counter clockwise.	Kinsha Chirimen The wrinkles are much finer, and the surface is smoother with luster.
Mon Chirimen The warp threads are dense and woofs are finer to create thinner texture and finer form.	Omeshi Chirimen The threads are dyed first, and the woof threads are twisted clockwise and counter clockwise after every two woofs. This process creates a high-grade silk textile.	Oni Chirimen A kind of chirimen which has larger wrinkles compared to other Chirimen fabrics.
Rinzu Chirimen The woofs are twisted to create weave patterns. The woven fabric is very soft and has a beautiful luster.	Ro Chirimen As the chirimen fabric gets weaved, the threads get intertwined together to create small openings on the fabric. Fabric often used for a summer kimono.	Yoryu Chirimen The wrinkles are formed to create the shape of willow. This shape is created by tightly twisting the woofs clockwise (or ccw).

Tsumugi The fabrics woven closely by the Hiraori technique. Light weight and durable.

Hige Tsumugi While weaving a Tsumugi fabric, some threads are left to stick out in an irregular pattern to create a "hairy" texture. (hige= beard)

Jimon A pattern created by a different style of weaving, by lifting parts of base forms.

Hira Ori The basic way of weaving. Weave the warp threads and woof threads perpendicularly. This creates a hard and durable fabric.

Aya Ori Weave the warp threads and woof threads diagonally. This creates variations of elaborate, durable fabrics.

Shusu Ori The crosspoints of the warps and woofs are not consecutive, but placed evenly in certain distances. This creates fabrics that are supple with beautiful luster.

Fukure Ori Weave with tightly twisted threads and non-twisted threads to create the pattern with bumpy texture.

OBI

Donsu Ori Purified silk is twisted with warp threads and woof threads to create softness and sheen.

Saki Ori A type of fabric which uses torn pieces of fabrics or silk fabrics as woof threads.

Shusu Ori The crosspoints of the warps and woofs are not consecutive, but placed evenly in certain distances. This creates supple fabric with beautiful luster.
