Oshima Tsumugi is a revered handwoven silk textile from Amami-Oshima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture. The fabric is known for its intricate kasuri patterns, achieved through resist-dyeing the threads in a traditional mud-dyeing process before weaving them into fabric. The colors are deep and rich, and the texture is a luxuriously smooth feel unique to Tsumugi silk.
