Piece of Cloth for Kimono with Pattern of Cherry Blossoms, Floral Medallions, Birds, and Vertical Splashes
A fabric piece with a pattern; the fabric is rectangular and slightly frayed at the edges. The background of the fabric is dark-colored, almost black. The fabric features a repeating pattern of medallions and flowers; the medallions are circular with a floral design and are surrounded by floral motifs and leaves. Inside and outside the medallions are stylized flowers including cherry blossoms and other bird or insect motifs. Vertical streaks run through the fabric. The fabric appears to be a piece of cloth for a kimono. The pattern is predominantly light-colored, creating contrast with the dark background. The fabric's lower right corner appears slightly torn. The image is in black and white.
