          it's "noto jofu" though.
          noto is the name of the area the fabric comes from.

              Fabric - the absolute foundation for successful design.

              Here are some favorites - esoteric as they may be.

              These pages are taken from a turn of the century Japanese kimono fabric sample book that I am lucky to own. Each sample contains a symbolic and imagistic universe unto its own.

                    as boring as this sounds, I love rayon - it's durable, machine washable, doesn't fade, doesn't wrinkle easily, and it's breathable. I never feel paranoid about ruining my clothes when I wear my "viscose"

                        definitely most in love with Altieri's heavy woven linen at the moment, and always been a mouth-watering fan of any ramie-based garments - particularly for the way they develop creases.

                            It's more the embroidery work than the fabric itself, but what a beauty !

                              I do love blistered leather, any ideas on how to care for it though? or even pre-treat it?

                              I would say though Oiled calf skin is my favorite material to wear do to its resilience to almost anything and general bad ass feeling it invokes, linens are my favorite to observe with their intricacies and delicacies, and cashmere blends and 600+ thread count cotton sheets have always felt the best to my skin.
