Length: 80cm / 31"
Width: 35cm / 13.77"
(Part of the length has been sold. The remaining piece has the hole at one end. It does not have the split into the edge).

Antique cotton of Taisho era. Early 1900s.

Hand loomed. Dyed with natural indigo. Very fine weave. This is a very dark blue, it looks black.

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

Extremely high quality cotton, artisan made.

It was once part of a kimono and has been taken apart for reuse. The condition is excellent, almost as new. There is some discoloration from age / storage.

There is a hole near the end. If you would like the full length without the hole see this listing:
