Originating in the 15th century, Yuntanza hanaui was once designated as the official fabric of the royal administration of Ryukyu, and common people outside of Yomitan were not permitted to wear it. Reminiscent of the tropics, it is a fabric made of raw silk and cotton; it has geometric patterns expressed with colored threads and is decorated with kasuri (Japanese variant of the ikat technique) as well as stripes and plaid patterns.
