Chirimen fabric is plain-woven silk crêpe made of high twist raw silk yarn. It is a soft fabric that doesn't crease easily, and its signature crimped surface texture (shibo) is what distinguishes chirimen from other silks.
Handmade in Japan
2023 is also the year of the rabbit. The Japanese believe that there is a rabbit on the moon pounding mochi. In Japanese, 月 (つき) and luck (ツキ) are homophones, which means that the rabbit will "月をぶ (つきをよぶ)", which is "to bring good luck"
