Japanese Vintage Ro Silk Bolts Woven Flower Pattern 17507

This silk bolt is a traditional Japanese fabric intended for making a Nagoya obi.

The fabric is soft to the touch while also being well-woven and substantial, giving it both comfort and durability.

This silk bolt was produced during the Showa era (1926–1989), making it a wonderful vintage piece with historical character.

The fabric is made of Ro silk, a type of woven fabric traditionally used for summer garments and accessories in Japan. Ro is characterized by its distinctive open-weave structure with sheer horizontal bands (sukashi), which allow air to circulate through the fabric. This breathable construction helps keep the wearer cool during hot weather while maintaining an elegant and refined appearance.

I could not find any stains, damage, or other significant flaws, and the overall condition is very good.
