Chirimen Henge (Chirimen Transformations) explores the 300-year history and enduring beauty of traditional Japanese chirimen crêpe silk.

Focusing on color, pattern design, and technique, it serves as an indispensable reference for antique textile collectors, kimono enthusiasts, and lovers of Japanese craft history.
