Japanese Silk Fabric, Red komon with Shochikubai pattern.
“Sho” means “pine tree” and stands for health. “Chiku” means bamboo and represents vitality. “Bai” means plum and signifies beauty.
Traditional Japanese kimono are made with bolts of fabric called tanmono, meaning simply ‘fabric roll’. Each tanmono is between 12-15 metres long, but only 36cm wide as kimono are made up of panels in that width. These fabric rolls are unique and it is rare to find two exactly the same, which is why vintage kimono silk is so well loved around the world. In our store we sell vintage kimono silk by the metre.
Note: While we try to capture the true colour of each piece, please be aware that due to lighting and shadows each piece may look slightly different in person.
An authentic Japanese silk piece. Red komon with Shochikubai pattern.
