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 ! Design sizes: Seven are 16" H by 14" W Seven are 12" H by 14" W.
