Japanese Bookmark - Pink Kimono

Japanese bookmark, finely detailed, pink kimono with a cherry blossom pattern

A kimono is cut in straight lines from a single roll of fabric approximately 36 centimetres wide, with no curves and almost no waste. This Japanese bookmark captures its elegant and refined silhouette, from the obi to the thin red cord draped over it, and right down to the cherry blossoms scattered from the hem of the garment up to the shoulder. The blue ribbon remains on the outside of the book, while the kimono rests between the pages. Slip it into a Japanese novel before giving it as a gift.
