This textile is a restoration based on the ground pattern depicted on the sacred garment of the court costume, Akome "Moegi Koaoi Fusenryo Marumon Futae-ori, Muromachi period, National Treasure". The threads are made from new mulberry cocoons and the nine-denier threads are painstakingly woven into this supreme textile. The koaoi pattern is one of the most representative of the yusoku patterns and is of high prestige, as recorded in the Engishiki (Engi Shiki). It was widely used during the Heian period, mainly on the costumes of the imperial family, and the pattern was only permitted for use by emperors and members of the royal family. The relatively small diamond-shaped flowers are surrounded by leaves in the shape of a tasuki, and are produced at TOYOWADO using a special machine used to present them to the imperial family.
