Item Details and Description

Fabric Description Details:

This type of silk is for making nagajuban (under-kimono) for women, it is very pale pink and translucent with a nice drape and slight sheen; interwoven are very hard-to-see small classic geometrics; also there are small stems in light lime-green run vertically at random places from the leaves in the fabric;  in addition for the background, there are some very subtle lateral curving lines across(weft) a few times; the foreground motif is majority of pink and ruddy-pink Japanese maple leaves placed randomly, with other leaves being white and scarcely visible in lower lighting; The design intended for one side only, though, due to thinness of the fabric, designs are mostly visible on the reverse. 

Great for making scarf and accessories.
