Silk Kimono

All of the kimono fabrics on the site are imported from Japan. These narrow-width kimono fabrics have been used to make silk kimono for hundreds of years. Each bolt of fabric is produced for one kimono - the Japanese don't do production runs of thousands of metres so there is a high level of hand-finishing, e.g., hand-painting, stencilling, ikat, tie-dye, etc. The fabrics on the site date anywhere from the 1940's to last year. Their narrow width makes them ideal for scarves, hanging banners, table runners and cushions.
