This listing is for a continuous 12-yard bolt of kimono fabric that was intended to be made into a man's underkimono.

A playful parade of Japanese folklore comes to life on this vintage fabric bolt! Set against a muted slate blue-gray background, expressive traditional masks, including a long-nosed Tengu and smiling theatrical faces, mingle with flowing Japanese calligraphy, woven baskets, and other charming cultural treasures. Soft shades of brown, olive green, and charcoal lend this whimsical polyester fabric an artistic, vintage character.

This vintage fabric bolt retains its original Japanese sleeve covering and decorative manufacturer's tag. The sleeve identifies the fabric as a special long-length textile, while the blue tag features an elegant traditional Japanese illustration and the name "Bijin Sugata," meaning "Beautiful Woman's Figure." The tag also confirms the fabric is 100% polyester and includes the manufacturer's identification number KT 6145.

The large gold lettering on the sleeve reads O-naga-jubanji, indicating extra-long fabric intended for a juban, or traditional Japanese undergarment.
