What is chirimen?
Chirimen is sometimes called "crepe" in English. It derives from traditional techniques dating back to the 16th century. These days, the fabric itself may be organic, like silk or wool, or synthetic, but it will always feature tight, strong wefts and a smooth texture with tiny, distinct wrinkles called "shibo". Chirimen fabric may be used for kimono, bags, decorative ornaments, and yes, coasters like these!
