A fantastic Hand woven Kimono Obi with a non repeating pattern, made in Japan and enclosed in an old kiri-wood box. It is the most amazing work of woven textile we have ever owned, and would certainly have been tens of thousands of dollars new. Not once does the pattern repeat itself.

Above her another dainty figure stairs towards the iris growing along the river bank, her lo... Click for details

Japanese uchikake (wedding gown) with a colorful design of flowers and birds done in the Tsujigahana-zome (dye) style.

Tsujigahana-dye was short lived and completely vanished by the early 17th century because of its extreme complexity. This gown is very beautiful with many woven metal threads;... Click for details
