Japanese antique shima dating back to early 1900s. Shima is a traditional Japanese striped woven ikat. A wonderfully rich antique indigo textile. Highly collectible. Artisan made. Hand dyed, hand loomed ikat cotton. Superior quality. Natural botanical dye, the main one being indigo. It was likely once part of a garment or futon cover.
