This listing is for a continuous bolt of kimono fabric that was intended to be made into a child's kimono.

This bolt is wool and a total of 12 yards. The background color is a bold red a yellow, black, and white woven design that includes a toy (building block) houses, little balls, and a little duck toy on wheels! 

Look closely at the photos to see that the pattern was woven with the ikat (aka kasuri) technique, which results in "fuzzy" edges to the elements.  In the ikat technique, the threads are bound and dyed in a pattern before they are woven so that the images emerge on the loom. It's a fascinating and time-consuming process that takes great skill from many artisans. See video below about ikat is done. 

The inspiring designs, hand work, and the ageless beauty of vintage Japanese textiles make all the extra work so worthwhile. See video below for inspiration on upcycling vintage Japanese textiles.
