Displaying Silk

I purchased some vintage silk while I was in Japan and have now found a way to frame, protect and enjoy it.  I bought an acrylic frame from muji which allows a view of both sides of the fabric, the decorative rightside and the interesting wrongside, with the stitches and pieces of lining.  My photographs are not very good but I'm sure you get the idea.  Now I must go back to watching London 2012, Murray v Federer...

1.  Many thanks to sensei Bryan who emailed details of my little piece of silk:

It is a piece of Tegakiyuzen on chirimen.(silk crepe) (Hand drawn yuzen dying.) Probably from Kyoto. I think it from after WWII. Maybe in the 50's as the woven quality of the crepe is very high. It is the shoulder piece from a kimono it seems by the cut marks. It looks like the motif is the seven grasses of autumn.  Very nice piece.

Oooh, Muji Online, thanks Susan

Susan posted about her shopping trip to Birmingham and innocently included a link to Muji. 

That's me done for after Christmas, I've resisted the very strong urge to put an order in today!  I adore that shop and didn't think about looking online for them, but just savoured any (rare) opportunities I had to visit a branch.  Lovely things, Japanese utility and design, I love the "in a bag" range, including London in a bag and Japanese garden in a bag, yummy jasmine tea, stationery supplies to delight any addict, take a look, you'll enjoy it.
