Production Process of Tango Chirimen: Finishing
After the fabric is refined, it is then dried and the width and length are adjusted to comply a specified measurements (habadashi). The plain white cloth undergoes strict inspection, where it is checked very carefully for scratches and knots. Only those fabrics that have passed the inspection are given the union's "examination passed stamp" and "local production brand mark" that functions as proof that they are "Tango chirimen" before being shipped.
