now taken apart so that you can give them new life
and our translation on our phone thinks one of the figures woven in black near the fringe says "Oshima" and/or "Large Island"

Leaf Study Vintage Meisen Kimono Silk Pieces from Japan, 13" x 59" #ZP-35 Flower Shape from German nickel silverBlack, gray red, off white and a bit of tan. This vintage kimono silk has lots of the classic, desirable, intentional "Meisen Blur", feathered edges where the colors meet. Not a print, this is a true ikat, and both sides are just the same. It was woven with thin, fine silk. These pieces are from a dis assembled kimono. It's in good condition except for the notches on the edges as you can see. This silk is thin and light, soft, quite smooth. Pretty
