Matsuzaka Momen, a cotton fabric made from indigo-dyed yarn, originates from the Matsusaka region, located in Mie Prefecture. Matsuzaka Momen can be characterized by its striped pattern and color, though indigo’s versatility allows for endless different shades to be created. This fabric gained popularity, particularly during the Edo Period, due to its versatility, comfort, and ability to be worn by anyone. Additionally, during this time, there were bans on flashy or extravagant clothing, resulting in thousands of people turning to more simple designs. Matsuzaka Momen provided the perfect fabric for kimono patterns while also remaining high-quality and comfortable.
