About Chirimen. Chirimen is traditional Japanese heavy crape cloth used for kimono. In the past genuine chirimen was made of silk and it was very expensive. Nowadays chirimen can also be made of rayon or polyester.Chirimen is a traditional weaving technique that was developed in the late sixteenth century in Japan. The cloth has the unique feature of soft wrinkles. the wrinkles are created by alternating two types of silk thread, twisted in different directions, by turns in the weft. The woven cloth is at first flat, but the wrinkles suddenly emerge after rinsing dirt out of the thread. This is the moment when the breathtaking beauty of the wrinkles is born. Chirimen is mostly used for finely made kimono. However, now chirimen is also used as a material for pouches, wallets, bags, and other fashionable Japanese goods. Depending upon how threads are spun and woven, there is wide variety of Chirimen.Chirimen is also divided into several sub categories: 1. Rayon (Hito Koshi chirimen, Yu Zen chirimen, Kin Sha chirimen, Oni chirimen). 2. Polyester 3. Real Silk.
