Dark Indigo Kasuri Ikat, Kimono Silk Handwoven Tsumugi from Japan By the Yard # 839

The blue is so dark it's nearly black. The ikat figures are off-white with skinny stripes of red, the 'birds' are steel blue-gray, and there are light tan stripes through the length of the bolt. How fortunate we are; these silk kasuris in such good condition can be hard to come by and this silk is gorgeous. Mid-weight, thin silk, it's lustrous, not shiny, very soft and smooth, with body and no drape. It's clear the silk and the design and weaving are of very high quality. Label reads Authentic 100% Silk Handwoven Folk Art (which might mean it was woven in someone's home?) Tsumugi. A true ikat, both sides are the same. 14" wide and sold by the full yard; we'll cut yours in one piece from the never-used, excellent condition, vintage bolt. 100% Silk. Japan. Exceptional.
