A Length of Kasuri Cotton: Zigzag Pine Bark Motif
$80.00 USD
early to mid twentieth century
64" x 12 3/4", 162.5 cm x 32.5 cm
This length of indigo dyed cotton kasuri cloth shows an alluring, weft-based pattern of wavy, undulating, zigzag lines.
The repeat pattern is that of matsukawabishi or a repeated, stylized pine bark design. The pattern is done in two styles one of which is staggered and overlaid on the other.
The result is artistic and beautiful and the large scale of the repeat is boldly modern.
An inventive iteration of the traditional pine bark motif.
Wonderful.
