Kyoto Kimono Scraps Book

I bought a bundle of old kimono scraps from the famous Toji antique market. What a delight!! I have used them in my wabi sabi scarves and here are some of the precious tiny pieces - too special to throw away.





..Just LOVE this piece of delicately worm eaten timber - what tiny creature feasted on this piece of wood?
