This piece of fabric came to me by way of my grandmother. It is fairly heavy, and is quite detailed. It was used as a wall hanging in her home, and has a channel at the top that a wooden dowel goes through. It is sewn onto a cloth backing. Is this just a wall hanging or was it originally part of a kimono? I thought that it might be part of the sleeve of a formal kimono. The motif is cranes. I also see chrysanthemums and drums. Thoughts from the group?

Charles,

If it is roughly 1 SHAKU wide (ca. 300 mm) and has a change in the motive or colour, it could be a part of a silk brocade OBI. Of course it could be any part of a KIMONO as well!
