9、”Oshi-shibori”（※important！)
10、Remove water from both sides with a dry towel
11、Put back the shrunk cloth（”Choko-ki”）
12、Sewn and completed！！
････Hmm? ?? I don’t have a 『Choko-ki』 !!
This is a rare old tool that is not currently made…
『Choko-ki』, which I use regularly, is probably from the early to mid Showa period.
It is a product that was handled by Japanese department stores or magazines.
It was a masterpiece recommended by Professor Kotaka Otsuma (founder of Otsuma Gakuin).
It was so popular in Japan that it is still available at auctions in Japan♪ It is traded in Japanese yen for about 4000 yen！！
Actually, this huge thing of “Chokouki” is used in modern cleaning☆ ***********************************
It is very difficult to wash your kimono yourself at home. By looking at this trend, you may understand that the reason why professional washers are so expensive is that it takes so much time and effort！！ From the next time, I will write a detailed article about how to wash my kimono ♪
