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 light pastel blue-green color background; full fabric is interwoven with diagonal lattice pattern; designs printed on one side, retro designs of flowers (peonies, chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms, others), shrines, and cascading blue streams; Other colors: off-white, mauve, burgundy, light mustard-yellows, black, dark and lighter colonial blues; due to the interwoven lattice patterns the fabric is slightly textured, almost chirimen, nice drape; 1980s kimono designers liked to do prints of designs seen in 1930s or earlier formal kimonos designs; We find this one truly distinctive -- suitable for framing/hanging.

NOTE: Perfect for making scarf, and accessories.

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

Condition: Excellent.
