Kimono Silk

Next to batiks, I'm quite partial to silks and most Japanese textiles. We're fortunate to have a shop in our tiny town with lots of Japanese exotica--tonsu, obi, etc. Sometimes I can find oddments there--small silk cut-offs in good shape--that don't cost a silly amount. I've used some nice pieces to make some great additions to projects. It's kind of fun to feel like you've found a 'bargain' and put it to good use.
With that mindset, imagine my pleasure in stumbling on this website: the kimono flea market! Actually a bit of a misnomer: more than kimono, and quite well thought out and displayed (as in, not a flea market feel!). Anyway if you enjoy Japanese textiles and clothing, or just like to learn more, this is a great site. If you click on items, they go into an amazing amount of detail for each item, and also offer definitions, history, etc. (Start by clicking on the list at the left.) What fun!
