Antique Japanese indigo *katazome cotton dating back to early 1900s.

Traditional geometric floral design.

An extremely valuable piece due to the detail of the design painstakingly stenciled and the three natural dyes used.

Hand loomed, artisan made.

It is soft and light weight.

The condition is excellent. There is a brown / yellow mark as shown in the photos. There are some very tiny holes at the edge, near one end. There are no other major marks or patches.

This is the last piece of the full length:

Length: 75cm / 29.5"
Width 34cm / 13.3"

*Katazome is a traditional Japanese resist dye technique. A stencil, known as kata, is used to apply a flour and water paste before dipping. These textiles were made by hand from scratch. The weaving, stenciling, dying and often the spinning of the cotton was all done by hand by the artisan. Natural botanical dyes were used, indigo being the most common.

Antique indigo textiles, such as this, are typical of 19th / early 20th century Japanese utilitarian textiles. They would have been used to make clothing or domestic items such as futon covers. They are highly regarded and collected within Japan and across the world.
