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 Type: Lightweight, delicate & translucent silk deconstructed from a woman's kimono; color is solid navy blue background with classic Camellias with plum blossoms; Design colors are a soft-white and cream, other colors: burgundy-red,,light tan, brown, sage-greens and very faint pink accents in places; a few interwoven flowers (Camellia) in the solid background -- see our last closeup image; note classic gradations of colors; designs on one side but apparent on reverse; fabric is soft and good drape.

Recommended for making scarves or accessories.

Colors: Please consider our text descriptions to complement your sense of the fabric, as colors and contrast can vary across devices.

Condition: Excellent.
