This is an ivory silk bolt for haori. It has elegant 'kaioke' (a hexagonal container to store clam shells, which are used ancient shell matching game - 'kaiawase' ) pattern, which is woven with urushi coated threads.
Textile is exquisite silk, and has very soft and comfortable touch.
It has patinas and discoloration partly, but it must be an excellent handicraft material!
