This delightful patchwork print cotton features maiko (apprentice geisha) scattered across a black 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.
Also available with in a cream and blue colourway. The kimono and obi sash colours are subtly changed, but you could combine all three in one project and the colour scheme would be very similar.
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.

*EU shipping can only resume when the EU simplifies its VAT regulations on mail orders. Please complain to your MEP to try to change the regs for small non EU businesses! We can't calculate, charge and remit the different amounts of VAT to all 27 EU countries four times a year, when we are one person businesses. It is too much admin and too expensive to employ an EU based agent as currently required.
