As this is an item originally intended for formal attire, it goes great with suits, jackets and shirts. However, even when worn with casual clothing, this gives you a casual look thanks to its smaller area compared to regular neckties.
Beautiful Kowatari Sarasa (dyed woven products that came to Japan around 400 years ago) carefully left behind by daimyo and the very rich. Among their designs, the Unyade Gotenjo Sarasa has been reproduced here. An attractive dyed textile item that conveys the atmosphere of Kowatari Sarasa.
[Unyade Gotenjo Sarasa]
A copy of one item from the sarasa collection passed down by the II family of the former Hikone Domain (currently at the Tokyo National Museum). Its fine, sophisticated arabesque-style base pattern, with circles inside a lattice, is carefully reproduced. Also, by faithfully reproducing the characteristic deep madder and indigo colors of Indian chintz, a refined item that conveys the atmosphere of Kowatari Sarasa has been created. (An excerpt from commentary by Professor Sae Ogasawara, Tokyo National Museum Visiting Researcher.)
