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 setting 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 muted colors and a softer silk that is easy to work with.

The main design features a majestic blue hawk soaring above layered pine trees and rugged rocky outcrops -- a striking composition that symbolizes strength, keen vision, endurance, and steadfast resilience. Soft ivory, turquoise, sage, lavender-blue, warm rust, and earthy browns create a dramatic landscape with exceptional contrast.

There are five pieces in this set each with a 14" width.  Panel lengths vary from 40" to 24" for a total of over 4 yards. Several panels have markings for the tailor that would need to be cut around or incorporated into a design. See photos for details. 

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