Muslin is a thin woven fabric made from a single thread of cotton or wool. Originally a Western blanket, it was introduced to Japan from the end of the Edo period to the beginning of the Meiji period and has been used widely for kimonos and other items. Currently, it is used for hanten coats, sashes, and bell straps. It drapes like silk and is warm and does not get stuffy easily. Muslin, which was introduced to Japan from Europe and has developed uniquely, can be said to be a Japanese treasure. The fabric is made by cutting a wide piece of fabric into thirds, so there is a mixture of fabrics with and without selvedge. Please note that you cannot choose between these. (The ones on both ends have selvedge, the one in the middle does not.)
