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 background, and resulted in muted colors and a softer silk that is easy to work with.

The main design features a chocolate brown hawk descending through sculpted pine branches and delicate plum blossoms, a classic pairing that symbolizes strength, resilience, renewal, and perseverance through life's changing seasons. Soft celadon, blush rose, sage, and warm taupe tones create an elegant, understated palette.

There are five pieces in this set each with a 14" width.  Panel lengths vary from 32" to 13" for a total of over 4 yards. Several of the 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.
