Yone Tsumugi is woven silk from Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. Very high quality.
The color is the most appealing aspect. At first appearing black, it has a green/indigo tint. Botanical dye.
Tsumugi or pongee refers to the type of weave. It is rough and textured. This is silk or a silk and cotton mix.
It would have been used to make a kimono or haori jacket.
