Rare and Beautiful Japanese Chirimen Silk Fabric Sampler '2nd of 4'
About the Item
A rare and beautiful Japanese Chirimen silk fabric sampler.
There are fourteen large exquisite designs in a 240 inch continuous roll.
The samples would be used by the maker for a client to select a design for a custom kimono. The generous size of the sample-design enabled the client to envision the finished product. The maker's stamp is signed at the bottom of the sampler.
Twentieth Century / Showa Period 1940’s/50’s
All fourteen designs can be viewed by clicking on images and scrolling-down to maker's stamp (at bottom). I have provided high-resolution photographs for close-up viewing.
I was delighted to acquire this collection in excellent condition from a collector.
No holes or tears. A collector's quality. It is a treasure !

- Japanese Hand-Painted and Embroidered Silk Kimono with Mt. Fuji Eagles, FramedLocated in San Francisco, CAA majestic late 1980s Japanese Showa period Sakai clan hand-painted, dyed, and embroidered silk kimono with eagles and Mt. Fuji in a monumental custom-made silk-lined giltwood frame. Features an epic and incredibly well executed hand-painted, hand-dyed, and hand-embroidered scene depicting a pair of gorgeous golden eagles—one with natural colored plumage and the other a fantastical all-white—in a finely-bristled gnarled pine tree with a snow-covered navy blue Mt. Fuji looming in the distance. Set against a cream background with black on the shoulders and tail, and white-capped grey waves undulating below. While impressive at a distance, the kimono’s exceptional artistry and craftsmanship become even more apparent when viewed up close, with exquisitely detailed hand-painted metallic gold and silver line work throughout, and hand-sewn metallic gold and silver thread embroidery embellishing the eyes, beaks, and talons. Presented in a very heavy custom wood frame with silk ecru back and black trim inside, gilt front, black edges, and acrylic glazing. Since ancient times in Japan, Mt.
