Japanese
Country Fabrics
This piece represents the highly
collectible Japanese country Indigo-dyed utilitarian textiles. They were used
over many years, and carefully hand-patched using a variety of stitches,
including sashiko running white thread stitches. Various fabric patches and use
of different textiles and weaves are all a part of the beauty, history and
collectibility of these pieces. It dates to the early 1900’s. Item for sale: This is a magnificent piece for the discerning collector. A futon cover, or blanket, it is a patchwork of pieces on both front and back. On a background of a beautiful katazome (stencil print) fabric, it has hand stitched patches in solids, plaids and stripes. In addition to the large patches are a number of small holes in the fabric, some of which have been repaired. Overall it looks generally faded, probably from age, but it is uniform, so it does not detract from the appearance. It is large: 60 inches wide by 73 inches long. It presents very well, with no obvious damage to the edges, and each side has its appeal. It is hard to get a real feel for this piece with just the 12 photos, if you would like to see all the photos please ask. This is a very rare and special piece.
