7 Pieces of Cranberry Vintage Shibori Kimono Silk from Japan, Various Sizes # 105
Dark cranberry red, overall hand-dyed vintage artisan shibori. The base silk is a sleek, lightweight, soft and supple silk with a jacquard pattern, over-dyed with tie-dye, in colors blending from darker to lighter cranberry, plus areas of more purplish red. These are pieces from a pure silk vintage kimono that has been disassembled. The fabric is supple, flowy, light, thin, textured and drapey, very soft. It is in beautiful condition, from Japan. Being a true shibori, the back is almost identical but the shibori squares that were once hand-tied and dyed, are a bit less sharp. The long, 13" x 76" piece is half shibori, half cranberry tie-dyed jacquard without shibori; see the last photos. Five of the 7 pieces have flowers in different sizes and positions that would be placed properly on the finished kimono.
