How exactly does one store an uchikake? They're much thicker and heavier than a kimono so I'm wondering if there is special treatment for them.
I have 5 and there's no room for them for display at this point. What I did was to fold it with tissue in between layers and stored them in large boxes that they came in. Two I folded and put into drawers.
Other than that, I'm not sure how to store them. All of mine are heavily brocaded, so I'm concerned that the folding can rub off some of the metallic threads.
One uchikake came from a rental store, and I'm thinking that perhaps stores actually hung them when stored away. I don't think my closets can hold such large pieces!
How do others store their uchikake?
