A Length of Narrow Woven Stripes: Cotton and Tsumugi Silk Warp

$30.00 USD
ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century
60 1/2" x 13 3/4", 153.5 cm x 35 cm

This length of hand woven coat is subtle and handsome.  It may have been taken from an "everyday" kimono or it could have once been part of a futon cover.

The warp yarns are primarily indigo dyed cotton; the contrasting color stripes to the dark indigo are of tsumugi or homespun silk.  The length is hand stitched from two separate pieces and is in good condition.

A good looking length of handwoven cloth from old Japan.
