Floral Tsumugi Silk Kimono Tie

This gorgeous tie is handcrafted from a vintage bolt of Japanese tsumugi kimono silk. On a background of dappled browns, soft greens and blues, are the traditional Japanese four seasons of flowers: colorful cherry blossoms, chrysanthemums, maples and pines. A slight touch of gold grasses adds highlights and a brief strip of a striped red-brown silk adds interest. The feel of tsumugi fabric is similar to raw silk.
