What is a SHO PREMIUM fabric?

• Etsuka's fabric selection is categorized into three levels: SHO-CHIKU-BAI. 
• Sho is the highest level amongst these three. It represents the kimonos that are of highest quality. Sho fabrics are characterized by three things: UNIQUE. RARE. INTRICATE. 
• UNIQUE: The fabrics we list under sho collection are often contain unique patterns such as Shi-shi (lion dog). 
• RARE: Some colors and patterns are rare to see in kimono. Once we find these rare colors such as Navy Blue and rare patterns such as Dragons, Fish and the likes, we list them in our SHO FABRIC collection. 
• INTRICATE: Sho fabrics are kimonos with the most intricate design. Some of the kimonos here has embossed or embroidered patterns in it. 

Mimi's note: This is a creamy silk material with embroidery all over. I know not a lot of people loves human painting but I also know some of you (like me) is a fan!
