The word "shijira" means "vertical uneven stripes" and “ori” means “weave.” Shijira-ori is known as seersucker and this might be more familiar to you.Shijira-ori is a traditional weaving technique where a fabric has fine vertical shrinkage wrinkles or unevenness called "shibo" on its surface. The technique includes the use of two different warp yarns with different tensions or thicknesses, and the use of two different weave patterns. These shibo reduce the contact surface between the skin and the fabric and keep the garment dry and comfortable to wear. Thanks to the shibo, the fabric is also breathable and does not retain heat, making it ideal for summer clothing. Tokushima Prefecture is famous for Awa Shijira-ori and Shizuoka Prefecture is known as a production area of Enshu Shijira-ori.
