Birds, Bamboo, Flowers on Sandy Tan, Colorful Bingata, Vintage Kimono Silk Piece 14" x 90". #2541 3/4" Button it barely changes color inVintage silk with the artwork in greens, deep bright red and rust, on a lovely warm tan background (not fading or changing, despite the photos). We think this is a true bingata, done by hand with stencils, in the traditional Okinawa methods, probably pre 1970's. It has a bit of texture in the weave which seems to be some type of crepe but it's not chirimen, not pebbly; more striped. A lovely complex bingata, a bit drapey and supple. Excellent
