Fabric History/Pedigree: 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: Lightweight silk from woman's kimono with a salmon-pink (peach?)  color background; Fabric is thin for summer wear, translucent but not sheer;  designs are print, one side only; Motif is pinstripes, equidistant.25 inch / 6.35mm apart; designs are of very tiny bamboo leaves in irregularly arranged clusters; the background silk color is a pale moss-green with darker green leaves; pinstripes are a rusty brown color and upon very close examination you will note that the pinstripes are more dashed than straight;  while fabric is soft with slight sheen and drape, the nature of the weave leaves it with a slight textured feeling. 

NOTE: Perfect for making scarf, accessories

Colors:  Reminder that colors differ on different monitors and devices; please use our text color descriptions in your consideration.

Condition: Excellent.
