lining a kimono with the same fabric as the outer material
A specialized term in kimono tailoring where the lining is cut from the same bolt of cloth as the exterior, often used for formal or high-quality garments.
This kimono is tailored with tomoura, so the same fabric as the outer material is used for the lining.
Compound of 共 (tomo, 'together, same') and 裏 (ura, 'lining, reverse side'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term transparently describes the practice of using the same material for both outer and inner layers.
