I love kimonos and I hope you can display and enjoy this cushion as if a beautiful work of art or sculpture. It is afterall, a complete one off! Much of the cloth I use is hand embroidered or hand-printed and I think this is a wonderful way of preserving such an ancient and revered craft.

Full description
A very special and really pretty vintage kimono silk cushion, hand-painted with a beautiful red chrysanthemum and bamboo design on an off white background. The leaves and petal details are picked out in metallic gold paint. The reverse of cushion is in the same cream vintage kimono silk with a bamboo design painted onto the cloth. (There is a slight wear mark at the bottom of the front of the cushion shown in the last image. This does not distract from the overall beauty of the cushion.)
I had real trouble trying to capture the colour and the beauty of this cushion and my photos certainly don't do it justice! The off white back ground blends to a pale pink blush colour at the bottom.
The cloth has been taken from a rare and genuine japanese wedding kimono or 'uchikake' worn by a woman dating from the 1960's. I have chosen particular details in the cloth and cropped the fabric accordingly to look good as a cushion.(No kimonos were injured during the making of this cushion. All fabric is taken from damaged kimono!)
Measures 30cm x 30cm.
100% silk cover
Has a duck feather filler and non-removebale cover.
Do not get wet! Seek professional advice for cleaning.
