Taishi Kanto(Brocade of "Taishi Kanto")
According to the temple tradition at Horyuji Temple, the original is said to have been used by the Prince Shotoku, but it is unknown what it was used for. This is not a so-called "mamichi" (striped weave), but a warp thread graze, and was made in the future during the Warring States period. Even today, the same type of kasuri is woven in the southern areas of Sumatra, Bali, and Sumbawa, and it requires a truly exquisite technique that is far superior to modern kasuri. The subtle, rhythmic, and southern-inspired aesthetic expression of the original kasuri has been brought to life in a modern style and produced using a special weaving technique.
