About Meisen silk :

"The fabric is woven from pre-dyed silk threads (Ikat technique) and is the most dense type of Ikat fabric in the world. Commencing production in the late 1800s, Meisen silk became hugely popular in the 1920s/30s amongst fashionable Japanese women for everyday wear. Heavily influenced by European painters and art deco style, Meisen silk exhibits striking, bold and geometric prints that reflect the heyday of its production. Meisen ceased production in the 1960s."
