Fabric History/Pedigree: 1980's kimono silk fabric 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 Type: Lightweight & minimally translucent silk; peach-pink color consistent throughout, and while solid, entire fabric is interwoven with small elements (1/2 inch / 12.7mm), the 3-arcs look of a classic symbol of pine trees; this gives the fabric a speckled look from a distance; please see our last image of closeup pine trees elements; We feel this is a classic komon array of many small-scale items filling the fabric; fabric has noted sheen.

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

Condition: Excellent.
