Rare and Beautiful Japanese Chirimen Silk Fabric Sampler '3rd of 4'

About the Item

A rare and beautiful Japanese Chirimen silk fabric sampler. There are 30 exquisite designs in a 222 inch (18' 5") 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. The 30 designs are all the same size - 11.25" Wide by 5.75" High. This sampler is fabulous and will be stunning in a "Wall Art Quilt". This is the 3rd sampler of four that I have posted on 1stDibs, from the collection that I have acquired. I will be posting another sampler in several weeks. All 30 designs can be viewed by clicking on images and scrolling-down to maker's stamp (at bottom). The images are high-resolution photographs for close-up viewing. Mid-Twentieth Century / Showa Period 1940’s/50’s I was delighted to acquire this collection in excellent condition from a collector. No holes or tears. "Collector Quality" - a lovely piece !

  • Japanese Hand-Painted and Embroidered Silk Kimono with Mt. Fuji Eagles, Framed
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    A 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. Fuji has been a symbol of faith and admiration, eagles have represented the great power of nature, and pine trees have represented longevity, good fortune, and steadfastness. Further adding to this kimono’s lore, a trio of Kamon crest...
