Vintage kaya mosquito net. It would have been hung around a futon of an early 1900s peasant home. A great collector piece. Hand loomed hemp. This light, rough textile looks amazing hung over a window with the light falling through. Kaya always reminds me of fishing net. It would be great to add to an eclectic nautical/beach theme.

This is a highly collectible folk textile. An excellent example of Japanese utilitarian boro used around the home. Indigo cotton and hemp became quintessential Japanese fabrics that were never thrown away and always reused.
