A Cotton Panel from a Futon Cover: Kasuri and Stripes

ca. early to mid twentieth century
64" x 13", 162.5 cm x 33 cm

This is a very handsome, large scale, kasuri and striped cloth with very interesting coloration and design.

This is a panel from what was undoubtedly a futon cover; the cotton is very tightly woven and is nicely heavy to the touch.  The bold design is a combination of golden colored and green and orange warp-based stripes which are interspersed by a staggered design of resisted white kasuri well cover patterns.  Very good-looking.

The hand woven cotton is in very good condition and is free of any noticeable stains or snags.

Just lovely.
