This listing is for a set of silk yardage pieces originally meant to be made into a traditional formal kimono for a young boy - called a miyamairi.  (Note: not all of the pieces to sew the full garment are included).  Combining these silks in a creative way could create a dramatic wearable (or displayable) art piece!

The dye set process was not completed, leaving the original fabric stiff and the color work unstable.  So, we washed the fabric which removed excess dye, created a soft gray-blue background, and resulted in a softer silk that is easy to work with.

The main design features a striking blue hawk soaring above a traditional treasure ship, complemented by graceful pine branches, stylized waves, and auspicious treasures that symbolize prosperity, resilience, and success. The hawk represents strength, keen vision, and ambition, while the treasure ship (takarabune) is a beloved symbol of good fortune and abundance, traditionally carrying the Seven Lucky Gods and their treasures into the New Year. Flowing wave patterns and evergreen pine complete the composition, representing perseverance, longevity, and the promise of favorable journeys.

There are six pieces in this set each with a 14" width. See photos for details.  Panel lengths vary from 36" to 20" for a total of over 4 yards.

Signs of age may be present, including light wear, small marks, or subtle variations consistent with vintage textiles.
