What are these white threads on my kimono, haori, michiyuki, etc.?
If you’ve ever purchased a new or unworn vintage kimono (きもの|着物), haori (羽織), michiyuki (道行), or other traditional Japanese garment, you may have noticed long stitches in a very delicate white thread running along the edges of the garment, such as hemline, sleeves, collars, etc.
