A coarse, thin cloth woven from wisteria bark leached in lye. One of the oldest cloths in Japan, and it needs no field and no silkworm — only the vines of the hills.
Obtaining
Usage
Boiled down in the lye tub
One plant ash and one cut wisteria vine in the lye tub give a bolt of wisteria cloth. Ash from above, vine from the sides, so a pair of hoppers keeps it going. No heat, no sun.
As an ingredient
Behavior
Not cotton cloth
Cotton cloth is four bolls thick, woven with thread; wisteria cloth is coarse and thin, and tough for all that. It holds without being layered, so the same cut of it comes out far lighter.
