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!

Full description
A really stunning cushion made with vintage kimono silk fabric printed with an eye-catching cream plum blossom design on a rich milk chocolate coloured background. (The blossoms are a creamier colour than they appear in the image).
The reverse of the cushion is in the same vintage silk.
This cushion has been handmade from cloth taken from genuine japanese kimono dating from the 1960's. The silk is in excellent condition considering its' age. The fabric originates from the Niigata region in Japan which has been a main producer of kimono silk for over one hundred years.
I hope you can display and enjoy these cushions as if a beautiful work of art or sculpture. Much of the cloth I use is hand embroidered or hand-dyed and I think this is a wonderful way of preserving such an ancient and revered craft.
100% silk cover
Measures 30cm x 30cm.
Has a duck feather filler and non-removebale cover.
Spot clean only / professional dry clean.
Due the age of the cloth there may be some small permanent marks and creases, but I think this all adds to the beauty and history of the cloth.
Designed by Lynn Watt in Eastbourne
