This is a wall art made with a vintage silk lining of a kimono jacket from the 1940s.
In Japanese traditional garments, not only the outer layers but lining have always been a part of fashion. Despite the fact that it is not often visible, Japanese people have put a lot of effort into having very unique fashionable silk linings. This wall art is made with beautiful silk linings from the haori jacket from the 1940s. Woodblock printing techniques are used here for the outline and then various stencils are used to fill in different colours. There are 12 circles depicted in this wall art and each represents the Chinese Zodiac; Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. The colours used here are warm-toned and give you are comfortable and cozy feeling. This is one-of-a-kind art and the details of this design are eye-catching.
The fabrics we use are in excellent condition, though sometimes there are small marks, blemishes, and or creases indicative of the fabric's rich history. Each wall art is made to order so fabric placements may differ from photos. If you have any questions or concerns, please send us a message.
