Fabric Description: Light-medium weight silk, slightly textured feel but not a chirimen; black background with fuzzy-edged blurbs and lines arrayed in bands which run diagonally (viewed lengthwise); figures and lines are in dark salmon color and off-white; same on both sides; This design is sort of modern/abstract (impressionistic?), yet the fuzzy figures resemble those seen in classic Japanese kasuri (ikat); slight drape.
