This hitoe kimono crafted from meisen-like woven ramie fibers features bold 'kiri' (paulownia) motifs forming a linked-left-orientated swastika called 'sauwastika'. The texture, owing to ramie, feels relatively crisp and 'dry', with silk warps and ramie wefts. Ramie, a flowering plant native to Eastern Asia, contributes to this unique fabric.

Despite its remarkable qualities, there are two minor holes near the collar, one of which has been patched. Measuring 51 inches (130 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 63 inches (160 cm) in height, this type of ramie kimono, known as 'chijimi', is crafted from thin threads spun from natural Choma and manufactured mainly in Ojiya City. During the weaving process, the threads twist securely, giving the fabric its characteristic Shibo, fine wavy wrinkles.

These kimono are favored for summer wear due to their ability to allow air circulation, making them light and cool. To achieve a soft texture, the woven fabrics are spread and exposed on snow around February to March, a process known as "Yukisarashi," a common practice in this region during early spring.

The term 'sauwastika' distinguishes the 'left-facing' from the 'right-facing' swastika symbol. The sauwastika, a natural Buddhist symbol, represents light, life, health, peace, and wealth.
