#047 mame punch 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 hand-dyed textiles made 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.

#047 jinbei uses "mame shibori" for the body, "korai koshi" for the sleeves, and "kumo" for the pants. They are made at the historic studio Todaya in Tokyo, Japan (Established 1872). 

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. 

Korai-koshi: it was a favorite pattern of a famous kabuki actor, 5th Koshiro Matsumoto. The name was taken from the actor's family name "Korai", and "koshi" means cross stripes. 

"Kumo" means cloud. The cloud was expressed through various patterns since late 500.
