This is a piece of light weight deadstock silk blend ( new but unsold stock, fabric composed of silk and mock-silk synthetics); fabric is from the 1980's, high quality silk blend*

*Background info: As Japan's economy expanded dramatically from 1960's to the 1990's the demand for natural silks also grew, making authentic natural silks increasingly expensive; because of this, the Japanese textile makers began experimenting with a wide variety of blends, using silk in different combinations with other fabrics; some of these fabrics are so good that even knowledgeable people have trouble telling the difference -- short of a burn test. Yoko

The colors are a light creamy peach and white with shuiro (orange-red) dark purple, olive greens, and several shades of brown; Flower bouquets with decorative cord & tassels seem to be afloat surrounded by stylized cloud shapes; motifs are on one side.

Condition: EXCELLENT --Excellent for its age, like new; suitable for all manner of artistic or design projects.
