#035 asa sumo jinbei set

Jinbei are a casual style of kimono that is perfect for relaxing around the house, at the beach, in summer, and for sleeping. The loosely fit design and string tie adjustments allow babies to wear the same size for over a year. 

This jinbei is approximately 70cm - 80cm (27.5" - 31.5") and is designed to fit babies that are 0 to 2 years old.

The string ties make it easy to put on lying down, and the pants comfortably cover babies' diapered bottoms with long crotch to waist design.

All warashi-ko jinbei are made exclusively from tenugui, a traditional Japanese textile, hand-dyed by Japanese artisans using the traditional chusen technique. Unlike printed fabric, textiles dyed with this technique have vibrant colors on both sides and uniqueness are heightened through uses and washes. 

The textile is the highest quality 100% tokuoka cotton fabric. As a character of the fabric, it gets softer and softer though each use, and each patterns has a unique name and story associated with it.

#035 jinbei uses "sumo" for the body, "mame-shibori" for the sleeves and collar, and "asa-no-ha" for the pants. They are made at the historic studio Todaya in Tokyo, Japan (Established 1872). 

Sumo: Todaya's orijinal design include various sumo winning techniques. Dynamic and fun pattern. 

Mame-shibori: One of the most popular traditional tie-dye technique patterns (this one is made with cut-out patterns). It's still widely used among sushi chefs and at occasions like festivals. 

Asa-no-ha: "Asa" means hemp, and "ha" means leaf. It was not design based on hemp leaf, but rather a hexagon design which was later given the name because it resembled the leaf. Since hemp grows tough and quickly, the pattern was used for baby's clothing from the old days, wishing healthy growth.
