This is shyousei gasuri which would have been used to make a students 'uniform' kimono. The quality is in the fine detailed weave.

Antique cotton of Taisho era. Early 1900s.

It is half of a full width and has only one selvedge. It was once part of a kimono and has been taken apart for reuse. The condition is excellent, almost as new.

Hand loomed. Dyed with natural indigo. Very fine weave. This is a very dark blue, it is not black.

Extremely high quality cotton, artisan made.

I have more (wider pieces) of the same fabric here:
