This is a lovely piece of fine, rather light-weight silk from the 1960's taken from a lady's dress kimono; Silk is interwoven with various traditional themes throughout (fans, geometrics, florals) with motifs of cherry blossoms and branches; background is a light brown with a slight hint of rust. Fabric is clean and very slightly translucent.

Excellent condtion: recommended for creative uses in making scarf, clothing accessory or even display.
