It reads as dark but the red is a good pop against all the black. Each camellia has a tiny gold ikat center.  Hand dyed and hand woven Oshima silk ikats like this one are known for their quality and for highly skilled Oshima artisans who have created them since the 1300's. The kimono made from Oshima Tsumugi silk become beloved heirlooms because they are so beautiful, long-lasting and so comfortable to wear in all types of weather, year after year. Each thread was pre-dyed to create the intricate ikat design once woven. It takes months to dye and weave one bolt; there are so many processes to assure its beauty.  This silk is lightweight and thin, very smooth, with body and lustre but no shine and no drape. It's quite old and the edges don't want to lie flat. A true ikat, both sides are the same. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis bolt was intended for a men's ensemble including pants and long kimono jacket; it's almost 23 yards.  14\" wide and sold by the full yard, we'll cut yours in one piece from the never used, excellent condition bolt. 100% Silk.
