Fabric History/Pedigree: Pieces received from a traditional Japanese kimono cleaner/reconstructor called Arai-Hari -- see an excellent explanation of traditional Arai Hari by textile expert John Marshall,by clicking HERE;

For an excellent 'how-to' do Arai-Hari oneself, we highly recommend Kae Warnock's Blog, Chocolate Factotum:

Fabric Description: This high-quality, 1930s-1950s kimono silk is a lightweight fabric, slightly translucent; Background color is black, but designs fill figures with iron-red, mustard and mustard-yellow colors background columns; rather distinctive overview of geometric grid designs of whole black-gray rectangles fill the fabric as foreground; columns and partial rectangular figures are all interwoven with rectangular checked fine mesh, fine black lines; Motifs are same on both sides .

Colors: Please use our text color descriptions to complement your sense of the fabric due to differences in contrast and color on different devices.

Condition: Excellent.
