| This is a current Nishijin textile, a very pricey item in Japan. This is an authentic one, it is woven thick like an obi sash. I have two hangings listed here. This is the larger one. The details, especially the gold thread, did not show up in the pictures. The theme is the aristocrat's graceful life in court during Heian Era (794-1192AD). You see a princess figure wearing 12 layered kimonos. The current empress had the same traditional attire from this period for the royal wedding not too long ago. This world famous textile from Kyoto is professionally framed in a blue lacquer frame with a coarse converse type blue matting. The condition is very new without any scratches on the glass with the wall mounting hook still taped on the wire. Noticed some scratches on the frame. The measurements are 31 1/3" and 17 3/8". | |||||||||
