Earth Tones Currents and Flowers Handwoven Certified Oshima Tsumugi Vintage Kimono Silk From Japan By the Yard #282 Silk with rice-paste outlinesOshima Tsumugi Silk. Soft hues of red, green, gold and blue combine with ivory, black and dark browns in this stunning true ikat from Oshima Japan. Sleek, soft and smooth, handwoven.
