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! The kimono is in serious decline in Japan and I am looking to save tiny parts of their amazing history.

Full description
This is such a striking cushion made with vintage kimono silk fabric woven with a geometric chrysanthemum design. Or it could be a very stylised sunflower! This cushion looks so modern as well as having an oriental vibe.
The reverse of the is in charcoal cotton.
(Please note, if buying a pair, due to the traditional design of kimono fabric the patterning on the second cushion cover may be slightly different.)
The cloth has been taken from genuine japanese kimono dating from the 1970's. 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 this cushion 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 front cover
100% cotton reverse cover
Measures 35cm x 35cm.
Has a duck feather filler and removable envelope cover.
Spot clean only.
