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. 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.

Full description

'Purple Gardens'

This stunning cushion has been made from a piece of silk taken from a rare and genuine japanese kimono worn by a woman dating from the 1950's. The fabric has an embroidered weave depicting the japanese royal gardens in a grey silver thread on a royal purple background. The reverse of the cushion is in a silvery grey textured silk also taken from a vintage kimono. 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.

Measures 30cm x 30cm.

100% silk cover

Has a duck feather filler and non-removebale cover.

Spot clean only.
