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.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful silk and a lovely way to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteperfect frame for that piece.
ReplyDeletewonderful idea and so nice to be able to enjoy a small piece. can the fabric "breath",do you know if there is any deterioration over time due to the close proximity to plastic??
ReplyDeleteA wonderful way to display your 'boro-boro'!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting idea. Will check out the website. Now if I only had cupboard tops and benches to display the frame.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to show off a beautiful piece of silk
