56" tall x 48" across (four panel construction vertically). Meiji to Taisho Eras, 1910's to 1920s. No identifiable holes, light mold / water stains (see photos). This could also have been a Yutan--a cloth made to cover tansu. Futon covers were one of a number of items making up a woman's trousseau, other objects including tansu chests, textiles, bedding and kimono. The futonji was made both in a local dye shop, and finished at home. A wedding futon cover was a special one and would be used first on the wedding night by the couple, and after only occasionally for special guests. The design on this is of "noshi", dried abalone strips, which were traditionally wrapped and attached to gifts for good fortune, represent a wish for good luck and extended happiness (the word noshi meaning extend) (see Jackson, Japanese Country Textiles.)

A fine brocade style heavy silk Maru obi, of typical construction (design continuous on both sides), the base orange with embroidery in blue, purple, green, red and gold. This a very fine quality obi, there are less often seen outside of the Japan because of the expense of the workmanship. Japan saw dramatic changes in textile production during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). Kyoto, the former capital and long the center of the textile industry, saw a revitalization with the introduction of new weaving and dyeing technologies. In 1872 a group of Japanese textile producers traveled to Lyon, France and soon thereafter returned to Japan to make the first Japanese Jacquard loom, and in the decade to follow brought back other advanced technologies from Europe, which revolutionized production methods. (See "Japanese Modern Textiles", Kyoto Shoin, #17). A few small stains (visible in photo), one 1/2" tear on surface of fabrics. 15 feet 5", 12.5" wide, 469 cm x 31.75 cm. Meiji to Taisho Eras (Meiji 1868-1912,Taisho 1912-1926) .
