Fabric Description: Delicate lightweight fine red silk originally from a girl's ceremonial kimono; This is a 1930s-1950s fabric piece which is a red background color interwoven throughout with the diagonal geographic maze-type design traditionally associated with Buddhist temples, this runs throughout the fabric and can be seen in sheen; Motif is of traditional Old Japan's children's toys as well as fans, decorative cords, and tassels; also itomaki (old spools, used by children at play); the other children's toys are called hamaguri* (explained below) and they are clam-shapes with ties on them; motif includes as well books, hand-drum, and sacks for playing toss-games;
*Cultural Background Information: In pre-industrial Japan, there was a children's game played using painted clam shells as cards for a game of matching pairs; hamaguri are clams historically found in Edo (Tokyo) Bay, and come in same shapes as shown here, 2 halves of clamshell are painted with the same designs, used like playing cards.
