This listing is for a set of five magnets covered with vintage Japanese kimono fabric - a great gift idea! Each magnet is actually a silk-covered button blank with a magnet attached on the back. 

This set features one with Edo Period men marching - look closely to see them holding a taiko drum; another one is pastel pink jacquard. The rest are examples of the yuzen technique (evidenced by the white outlining of each motif) with three garden motifs - peony, iris, maple leaves. Beautiful soft colors. (See videos below for how each technique is done.) 

These little gems combine fun and function, offering a Japanique twist for a teacher's whiteboard, a student's locker, or the home fridge. We love upcycling kimono fabric into "usable art", and they make great gifts, stocking stuffers, party favors...
