Description: This fabric is a rusty red color with a touch of salmon color; Designs are of irregularly shaped white figures (all just under 5 inches/12.7 cm at longest dimension), each with classic white backgrounds that have classic geometrics (hash tag like), fans, waves in black and light gray; each figure has camelia flowers on and around it; The flowers are light salmon and white colors with moss-green and dark burgundy leaves; Also, within the solid background there are irregularly spaced hash tags and single lines, as well as single swallows in flight ; Tsumugi like this is lightly textured to the touch with some threads with 'bumps' in the weave; the fabric is slightly stiff with limited drape, typical of tsumugi.
