Chirimen 縮緬 is a typically thick and heavy silk crepe with a unique crinkled surface, much prized for making kimonos and other accessories.
The technique appeared in Japan at the end of the Momoyama or early Edo period, coming from China via Osaka. It soon expanded into Kyoto’s Nishijin district.
Several regional varieties, which differ by tread type and dying methods, were developed soon thereafter.
Tango Chirimen from the prefecture of Kyoto, and Hama (hitokoshi) Chirimen from Nagahama (in the Shiga prefecture), are among todayās best-known types of regional crepe fabrics.
The fabric is produced by keeping the weft threat tighter than the warp thread during the weaving process. The warp thread itself consists of two gum coated threads twisted together.
After weaving the fabric is washed, to remove the gum coating, and the different tension of the threads cause it to crinkle.
The finished fabric, however, cannot be washed with water, because it produces severe shrinkage and deforms the garment. The threads can be dyed before weaving but also after the work is finished.
Today, many similar fabrics are produced with cheaper, synthetic thread, and widely used to make formal attire, primarily garments at high risk of being stained during events like tea ceremonies.
Il Chirimen 縮緬 è un crepe di seta solitamente spesso e pesante, molto apprezzato per kimono e altri accessori dalla caratteristica superficie increspata a onde
La tecnica apparve in Giappone alla fine dellāepoca Momoyama o inizio Edo, proveniente dalla Cina via Osaka. Presto si espanse nel distretto Nishijin di Kyoto.
Si svilupparono diverse varietĆ regionali, differenti nel modo di tintura o nel tipo di filo.
Alcune tipologie regionali oggi famose sono il Tango Chirimen della prefettura di Kyoto e Hama (hitokoshi) Chirimen da Nagahama (Prefettura di Shiga).
Si produce mantenendo i fili di trama più tesi rispetto allāordito, che a sua volta ĆØ costituito da due fili gommati attorcigliati tra loro.
Dopo la tessitura, la stoffa viene lavata eliminando la gommatura, e le due diverse tensioni creano lāeffetto ondulato.
Il tessuto finito, tuttavia, non può essere lavato con acqua, perché produce un forte restringimento e deforma il capo. I fili possono essere tinti prima della tessitura ma anche a lavoro finito.
Al giorno dāoggi si producono tessuti simili usando più economici fili sintetici, specie per outfit dāoccasione, come la cerimonia del tĆØ, dove ĆØ alto il rischio di macchiare gli accessori.
