It has a rustic, old, misty feel. There are idyllic landscapes, flowers, beautiful architecture, mountains, maple and other trees. The background is ivory, very even and smooth. The colors in the design all look muted: blues, blue-grays, purple, and olive. This silk is thin, lightweight, supple, with a bit of drape and no body. It's fairly smooth, with soft slubs. It's a cottony-feeling silk. The back is solid ivory; the print barely comes through. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a v\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eintage, never used bolt designed for a kimono, which has been carefully stored for decades.
