Fabric History/Pedigree: 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 Description: Lightweight silk originally intended to make a woman's  kimono; This is a 1950's fabric piece done in an unusually small and dense weave giving it a rougher texture, slightly stiff compared to most silks; background color is burgundy with designs in tiny grayish-blue pinstripes configured to create a pattern of elongated diamond-shaped thatch work grid; Some of the diamond shapes are solid;  This design is evocative of how kasuri has blurred and fuzzy edging of figures; design same on both sides; no-sheen, minimal drape.


Recommended for making scarf or accessories.

Condition: Excellent.
