There are nine grape art areas throughout the bolt. It was made so the art areas, which all coordinate but are different sizes and positions, so they would be in the right places when this long elegant, medium formality Tsukesage kimono would be worn. We've photographed most of them and the first photo shows the largest; it's about 29\" long.  The smaller ones are around 9-10\" long. Spacing between grape art varies and of course there is lots of 'plain' beautiful blended greens. (If you need to know for sure, let us know and we'll do the measurements for you.) This silk is light weight and thin, classic high-end vintage chirimen crepe, very flowy, drapey and supple, with a fine, luxurious pebbly texture. It's not the stiffer, heavier, deeper-grooved type - it may be a Tango chirimen, known for lustre, fine grain and suppleness.  The green-to-yellow background was clearly hand painted using the Bokashi technique.  14\" wide. This is for the whole 13 yard bolt. It's in excellent condition, never used. 100% Silk. Japan.  Order \"1\" for the bolt. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KimonoPetitjaponJP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53081294143808,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1903\/5685\/files\/IMG_8202.png?v=1787961849","url":"https:\/\/www.buttonbird.com\/products\/hand-painted-grapes-full-bolt-greens-to-yellows-blended-bokashi-chirimen-crepe-vintage-kimono-silk-from-japan-13-yards-131","provider":"The Button Bird ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
