About the Kincha 金茶 colorway

Kincha, a golden brown, is one of the many subtle earth tones (the so-called 'forty-eight browns') prized in Edo-period fashion.

About Yagasuri

Yagasuri is a field of arrow feathers (fletching), usually shown as bold vertical bands.

The arrow-feather pattern became iconic in the Edo and Meiji periods, famously worn by students and as the kimono of a bride. It is closely associated with the kasuri (ikat) weaving technique that gives the feathers their soft edges.
