'Cherry Blossom'
Pretty vintage pale-aqua silk fabric hand-painted with delicate branches holding pink, yellow and green cherry blossoms. The colours involved in this kimono cushion look their age for a very vintage feel. The clouds for instance are definitely cream and not white. But then this unique cushion has been made from a piece of cloth taken from a rare and genuine japanese kimono worn by a woman dating from the 1950's. The kimono has been carefully unpicked and I have chosen particular details in the cloth and cropped the fabric accordingly to look good as a cushion. The fabric originates from the Niigata region in Japan which has been a main producer of kimono silk for over one hundred years.
I love kimonos and am fascinated by the fact that a whole kimono is constructed from just one roll of fabric called a silk bolt or 'tanmono'. It is an exact length and width and nothing gets wasted. This in turn denotes the finished size of my cushions!
I hope you can display and enjoy this cushion as if a beautiful work of art or sculpture. There is only one available! Much of the cloth I use is hand embroidered or hand-painted and I think this is a wonderful way of preserving such an ancient and revered craft.
Measures 30cm x 30cm.
100% silk cover
Has a duck feather filler and non-removebale cover.
Spot clean only.
