Gorgeous vintage Japanese silk crepe with intricate woven raised pattern including rectangles, the Greek key design, water, plants and birds. Large shibori (tie-dyed) off-white peonies pop out with hand-dyed highlights in shades of pinks, beige, and blue-greens, and gray outlines—on a lovely violet-red ground. The lining shows a very colorful outdoor Japanese garden scene dyed with a detailed design.

Condition: excellent outside and inside. Size: 24” across the top; 37” top to bottom. U.S. women’s size: x-small, small, or medium. This special medium weight silk kimono vest is not designed to overlap or close in the center, if worn. If desired, you could add your own closure. Such superior textile artwork would also add a lovely touch to home décor.
