----
The sheer fabric used in the TRADITIONAL SHEER HAPPI is called Sha-Tsumugi, a type of textile known as "Sha."
Sha is a traditional Japanese fabric often used for summer kimono and obi, valued for its unique transparency and excellent breathability.
Another well-known sheer fabric is "Ro."
While there are various theories, Sha is said to have originated during the Heian period (794–1180).
In classic ukiyo-e prints, elegant women are often depicted wearing black sheer outers with family crests, layered over bright red kimono.
Inspired by such timeless aesthetics, we have revived this traditional design into a modern festival Happi.
