vintage Japanese silk kimono fabric, originally from a vintage kimono.

pink background with handpainted traditional floral patterns. Photos 2-3 show the "whole picture" of the item, other photos show small sections of the fabric.

Approximate size: 37cm (width) x 96cm (length), the patterned part is about 37x50cm.

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.

Last photo shows how the original kimono looked like (this photo is for reference only).


PLEASE NOTE: This is a vintage fabric, so there may be imperfections (small stain just above the patterned part near the right edge, see photo 5). The overall condition is very good.

Sorry no returns.
