Coral/Blue Kimono Silk Crepe Print from Japan, Piece 14" x 55" #ZP-14
Traditional floral, with houses, peonies and other flowers, cherry and plum blossoms, clouds, streams and bridges, in lush colors. The background is a little brighter and pinker than the photos; a perfect, classic Japanese coral peachy color. Light, soft, drapey, supple, flowy silk with Chirimen crepe pebbly texture, a dry hand and no shine. The back is lighter; the print doesn't come all the way through. These pieces had a former life as parts of a kimono, and are in excellent condition. 100% Silk. 1980's Japan.
