Item Details and Description

Fabric History/Pedigree: 1960s piece derived 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:  Lightweight silk kimono fabric, used to make woman's kimono; fabric patterns on one side; fabric is brown background with evenly spaced chain patterned stripes running diagonally, chain stripes are about 1/4 inch(6.35 mm) wide; there are also tiny star-burst shapes in the black fields between the lines; fabric is textured, slightly rough to the touch.

NOTE ON IMAGES: Our last picture above in extreme close-up is over-exposed to better reveal the tiny pinstripes and it shows a lighter shade of the chocolate (Hershey Brown?) fabric; the color of the other pictures better render the fabric background color. Please use our text descriptions of colors to complement pictures, as colors vary on different devices.

Condition: Excellent.
