Fabric Description Details:

This is a lightweight 1980s silk, derived from a kimono by an Arai-Hari cleaner in Japan; fabric is slightly textured due to the micro-pixelation; not translucent, with a cream-white background, but fully pixelated using micro-tiny mauve colored pixels that are in symmetrical round arcs, evocative of classic waves in traditional pre-modern Japanese art; on the reverse fabric is dominant off-white; slight drape; please see closeups.

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,

Recommended for making scarf/accessories.
