vintage Japanese silk kimono fabric

turquoise blue background with cherry blossoms and bamboo patterns. Photo 2 shows the "whole picture" of the item, other photos show small sections of the fabric or info on the design.


It's from a vintage kimono that my wife owned. Last photo shows how the original kimono looks like (this photo is for information only, as the listing is for a fabric rather than the whole dress).


Approximate size: 37cm (width) x 105.5cm (length)

Material: silk

The particular type of silk is called chirimen, using traditional Japanese weaving technique. Chirimen fabric is a silk crepe, the ultimate luxury fabric for kimono.

If you'd like to know more about chirimen fabric, please see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2PCjD3uiiU

PLEASE NOTE: This is a vintage fabric, so there may be some imperfections (there's a small cut near the edge). The overall condition is very good. 


Sorry no returns.
