Fabric History/Pedigree: 1960s silk fabric pieces received from a 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 is a medium-weight silk, derived from a woman's kimono; the fabric is dark brown, almost black but with a hint of dark olive green as background; the flowers and grass designs are in pale olive-green color, but from a distance fabric looks more like a gray on black; This motif is rather unusual in that it uses small squares and rectangles in a pixel-looking fashion; stylized, modernistic; Fabric is not translucent and the reverse is a polar negative -- Black on pale olive-green;
Recommended for making scarves/accessories.
Condition: Excellent.
