Fabric Description: This is lightweight chirimen silkderived from a 1980swomans kimono; Background color isalight peach color with black designs; this distinctive motif is modernistic even abstract to our eye:To us this pattern is like cobweb, thinly fibrous, or even resembling a network of neurons (Perhaps a bit of a Rorschach here, DL); fabric feel is textured due to chirimen; same on both sides, slight drape andminimal sheen.
