Ode to Dunhuang 敦煌颂 Late Tang Buddhist Donor Mulberry Silk Recreation Qixiong Ruqun

Product Info

Referenced from the Dunhuang Cave Grottoes in the Northwestern region of China, this set is a breathtaking picture of high fashion during the Late Tang Dynasty.

One of the most colorful and vibrant eras in all of hanfu history, this Ode to Dunhuang 敦煌颂 Late Tang Buddhist Donor set made of 100% mulberry silk showcases the excellent fabric and dye techniques of the Tang.

Features a white silk lotus print Shan 衫 with wide sleeves, a common sleeve style for Late Tang base shirts.

With the textile industry booming during the Late Tang, we begin to see more experimental styles of dyeing, much like the Qixiong Ruqun 齐胸襦裙, or chest-high skirt. Dyed in striking yellow and red ombrés, horizontal bold stripes were a popular trend for noblewomen of the time.

The pibo 披帛, or shawl, is also hand-dyed with Tang ombré, creating a dimensional and ethereal outfit. 

The Ode to Dunhuang 敦煌颂 set is a high-quality piece made from fine silks, constructed true to artifacts and hand-dyed. Recommended for those looking for a lasting collector's piece. 

Materials:

• 100% mulberry silk
• 100% polyester (for polyester version of the Qixiong Ruqun Skirt only)
