Item Details and Description
Fabric History/Pedigree: 1970's tsumugi (pongee) silk pieces received 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: This distinctive Japanese vintage traditional Tsumugi is a lightweight pongee type silk that is translucent; the entire fabric is rendered by very tiny pixelated weave to create a color of fabric which is burgundy-red and black; There are some fine interwoven darker red lines rendering soft delicate and long bamboo leaves that flow side to side; fabric is minimally textured to the touch due to the weave, and has no sheen; some drape; same on both sides, except that on front the bamboo leaves lines are black, on reverse they are red (see last 2 close-up images above).
Colors: Reminder that colors differ on each device so please use our text color descriptions to complement your sense of the look of this piece.
