Bold Japanese design motifs adorn this soft silk fabric, including 'ume' blossom, ‘botan' flowers, and ‘sensu’.   Ume, the Plum Blossom is a very popular symbol on fabrics. It is a favourite within the range of Japanese designs: it’s beauty and fragrance has been reflected in many poems. It is the first of the year to bloom, and therefore represents endurance. It became a symbol of good fortune, as is used for New Year decorations.  Botan, peonies, are known as the King of Flowers in Japan where they represent longevity and steadfastness.

Sensu, fans are used in traditional dance performances.

The pattern of square ‘dots’ represents shibori, the Japanese miniature tie-dye technique.

The pattern is printed on a rinzu silk, a damask silk woven with a pattern to give extra texture to the kimono fabric.  The design is further enhanced by gold printed areas.

 

This vintage kimono was sourced from the Osaka area of Japan.  It is approximately 20-30 years old.

Handmade by self help groups in Cambodia.
