Do you know the history of Japanese fabrics ?

We have since a long time considered Japanese fabrics to be a reflection of Japanese art and culture. Their qualities and aesthetics have conquered the world, and their wide range of inspiring designs continues to fascinate lovers of the country and its crafts.

The traditional weavings, the variety of prints such as Asanoha or Seigaiha, have long been a testament to the skills of the country's craftsmen. The kimono is a perfect example of the timeless beauty of these magnificent fabrics.

This is a beautiful fabric! I haven't decided exactly what I want to make with it yet, but the print is just right to make any size item, including doll clothes. The seller also provided cleaning instructions for protecting the metallic print on the fabric, which I am very grateful for.
