May I ask what you do with it, SS?
I have ideas.
Nothing at the moment. It's packed away. It's truly art and I have thought of trying to display it some way. Any ideas would be appreciated!
my Dad received a gorgeous silk kimono, a tapestry screen and some pearls as an honorarium while speaking in Japan. he gave it to me, and i wore it, now i wish i had framed it in glass. there are methods to preserve textiles that way as i'm sure you know.
you made me think of a doc i saw on PBS once about geishas, the kimonos they showed were delicate, stunning, prized possessions. and absolutely art works.
