Miyako jōfu originated in the second half of the 16th century with the use of wild ramie for weaving. Using fine yarns and featuring exquisite kasuri patterns, it is made with traditional methods such as Ryukyu indigo dyeing as well as hand spinning and weaving. Miyako jōfu is an iconic material for summer kimonos, valued as a luxurious navy blue fabric.
