Fabric Description Details:

This is a lightweight tsumugi (pongee) silk from the 1980s; The design is the same on both sides: basically a large scale plaid on pixelated gray-blue background; the plaid lines are tiny pinstripe types which form 2.75 inches / 6.99 cm squares; the entire design is done through use of tiny pixels; colors all lighter shades including light green, salmon, tan, and burgundy; very slight sheen; our last picture is intentionally over-exposed to better show pixelation, so blue is not well-shown.

Condition: EXCELLENT
