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

Fabric Description:  Very thin, lightweight, translucent mesh-like charcoal-black fabric is called Asa, a flax or hemp-based traditional fabric made in Japan for centuries up until the 1950s; Asa is usually harder than silk or cotton and has utilitarian purposes such as coverings, screen mesh, work clothing.

Asa is stronger and lasts longer than cotton; This particular piece is thinner and has designs; the fabric is lighter than many we see from the same period, and was taken from a garment;   Design is of 1.25 in./31.75mm squares composed of .25 inch/6.35 square elements aligned to create the squares and connecting elements that render it as a diagonal reticular motif; please see close-ups; Design colors are light-gray.

Recommended for making scarf or accessories, and for Japanese antique textile aficionados.

Condition: Excellent.
