FABRIC NOTE: This type of tsumugi is highly cherished among traditional Japanese fabric collectors and enthusiasts. Historically, tsumugi, being so labor-intensive to make, was felt (by Japanese) as highly expensive and worn only by aristocrats or the wealthy.

It is one of three fundamental types of textile weaves along with plain weave and satin. It is made by passing the weft thread over one or more warp threads then under two or more warp threads and so on, with a "step," or offset, between rows to create the characteristic diagonal pattern.[1] Because of this structure, twill generally drapes well.
