Fabric Description: This distinctive Japanese vintage traditional Tsumugi is a lightweight pongee type silk, navy-blue and muted blue-gray (warp-weft) tiny mesh background appearance (only visible up close; the design in soft-whites has a slightly modernistic (Western), sort of abstract patterns of lateral lines (weft) comprised of tiny dashes (see close-ups); to us, the pattern looks like either willow branches or vines - except they run left to right; slightly stiff, no sheen, same on both sides; interesting.
