Vintage Meisen Kimono Silk Pieces, Blurry Checkerboard 14" x 59" from Japan # ZP-16

Black, off-white, light pink, red, gray and yellow...triangles, rectangles, spots, hexagons, other geometric shapes. This silk has Meisen's traditional, intentional blurr.  Both sides are just the same, and it's a true ikat, woven with thin, fine silk.  These pieces are from a dis-assembled kimono. Pure silk in excellent, beautiful condition; we see no stains, fading or other problems. Quite thin and light, and a little crisp. Not much sheen; this is the somewhat cottony-feeling type of Meisen. But being pure silk it's light: each piece weighs less than 2 ounces.  One selvedge is teal, the other is off-white. An artisan created vintage treasure, probably 1930's-50's. Sold per 14" x 59" Piece. 100% Silk. Japan. When Jack saw this just now, his heart skipped a beat.
