This delightful patchwork print cotton features maiko (apprentice geisha) scattered across a cream background with fuji (wisteria) in silhouette, with traditional wagasa (paper umbrellas) and scatterings of metallic cherry blossoms. Perfect for your spring-themed Japanese projects, from patchwork and home dec to bags and accessories.
幌 horo means canopy or awning; a helmet cape; or a cape covering a warrior's back to protect against arrows during battle. I'm guessing the fabric name refers to the fact that we are seeing the back views of the maiko? But ほろほろ horohoro is an adverb describing going by ones and twos and also flower petals falling quietly, so it is a clever name for this design.
NB - sold by the half metre, so order '2' for 1 metre, '3' for 1.5m etc. Fabric will be sent as one piece.
