Japanese dobby fabric " Hawks " on ivory.

Japanese 100% cotton fabric. Dobby weave, with threads of irregular thickness, which gives a special relief to the fabric.

Spectacular falcon and pine tree motif. 

The falcon is recognised as an auspicious symbol, having been associated with the samurai for centuries. The samurai used feathers of this noble bird in celebration of victories.

Falcon feathers were often found on the family crests (kamon) of samurai families.  

Another particularly meaningful motif that appears on this fabric is that of the pine tree. The pine tree conveys a wish for longevity; this is because its leaves do not fall from the branches in winter, which means that the tree remains evergreen, even in this harsh season.

Because of its resistance to bad weather, it also represents determination.
