A type of cotton fabric, this is a summer kimono fabric with a texture similar to that of crepe. Originally, it was woven with pure indigo-dyed threads, a specialty of Awa Province (Tokushima Prefecture), but in recent years, it has been produced in a variety of colors, including indigo. It is characterized by the unique unevenness on the surface of the fabric, called "shibo," which occurs because the fabric is made of a mixed weave that alternates between plain weave and weft rib weave. When the fabric is boiled after weaving, the glue added to the threads falls off and the warp threads shrink, but the plain weave and weft rib weave shrink differently. The weft rib weave has a coarser weave, so it shrinks more than the plain weave, which is where the "shibo" comes in. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
綿織物の一種で,縮のような感触をもった夏の着尺地(きじやくじ)。阿波国(徳島県)特産の正藍染の糸で織ったものが本来だが,近年は藍だけでなく,自由な色づかいによるものも生産されている。織物としての特徴は布面に独特の〈シボ〉と呼ばれる凹凸があることだが,これが生ずるのは,織物の組織を平織と緯畝(ぬきうね)織とを交互に配した混合組織としているからである。つまり,製織後湯通しをすると糸に加えたのりが落ちて経糸が収縮するが,その際平織の部分と緯畝織のところとでは縮み方が違い,緯畝織のほうが組織が粗いため平織の部分より縮み方がいちじるしくなり,そこに〈シボ〉が生ずるわけである。
