• Fabric History/Pedigree:  1980s silk fabric pieces from a deadstock partial roll found with other similar old fabrics; the term deadstock means unused, 'new' only from a different time; sometimes with original bindings, tags etc.
  
  
• Description:  This distinctive Japanese vintage traditional Tsumugi is a lightweight pongee-type silk that is made from a background color ruby-red and light mustard pixels, all designs are in micro-sized pixels throughout(see closeup);  the fabric is very slightly translucent (only with bright light behind), smooth to the touch with very slight sheen and designs are same on both sides;
  
  Motifs/Designs: The pixelated fabric motif is of traditional style Japanese pine trees and branches along with plum blossoms and trees; fabric is smooth to the touch as part of the tsumugi process, so all designs have a pixelated effect, tiny pixels created in the weaving process (please see closeups); minimal sheen; selvage on both sides is about .5 inch / 12.7mm.
  
  
• Colors: Please NOTE that colors and contrast differ on each device, so please use our text descriptions to complement your sense of the fabric.
