This listing is for one yard of reclaimed vintage Japanese fabric salvaged from a vintage Japanese kimono.
This fabric is a medium gray silky synthetic with a purplish tint, originally intended for a man's underkimono (juban). The design features a "scattered postcard" motif with a dragon or tigers in each one, shaded in a golden brown. If these weren't completely drawn by hand, they seem to at least have been embellished by brushwork. Lots of artistic details!
Great for piecework, especially when combined with other vintage kimono remnants. Multiple pieces may be available.
When we find vintage (circa 1950s but could be older or newer by two decades) Japanese kimono or haori in less-than-sellable condition, we salvage what we can and offer it to artisans, quilters, crafters, and designers for project work. So, the fabric has been previously sewn and though we carefully deconstruct the kimono, previous seam lines, as well as minor blemishes, may need to be worked around or trimmed away.
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.
