Fabric Description: Light-medium weight silk is a 1980s piece from a woman's everyday kimono; the fabric background is in copper-brown; Motif is rather distinctive, not seen often, of traditionally-dressed hunters: some with spears on foot, and others as archers on horseback; also note the antlered deer, as well as birds; Colors are mostly earth-tones, various shades of browns, dark orange and dark blues, lavender and some purples, mostly using gradation color shading; the motif is full of large-scaled blossoms and branches, some apparent fruit; designs same on both sides; slightly textured; no sheen, slight drape.

Colors: Please consider our text descriptions to complement your sense of the fabric, as colors and contrast differ on different devices.

Recommended for making scarf/accessories.
