A Pair of Botanically Dyed 19th Century Leg Protectors Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1900 item# 1141505
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 $85.00
mid nineteenth century each: 11 1/2" x 13 1/2", 29 cm x 34.25 cm This pair of late Edo period kyahan, or led protectors, is a study in color: simply beautiful. The face, a rich purple color, is glossy from the hand spun or tsumugi silk as well as from the natural dye used to color the cloth which is shikon or gromwell root. Just gorgeous color. The reverse of the leg protector is hand spun, hand woven cotton which is indigo dyed, the indigo yielding a rich, pure, blue, one tha ...click for details

A Set of Five Beautiful Sake Cups: Hand Painted Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Porcelain: Pre 1910 item# 1131120
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 $145.00
ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century each: 2" high x 3 1/4" diameter, 5 cm high x 8 cm diameter This is a set of five beautifully hand painted porcelain sake cups which were made in Kyoto in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Both inside and out are decorated with amazingly thin and precise rings of parallel lines: imagine the skill necessary to create such fine decoration on concave and convex surfaces, inside and out. Each of these cups is intact; there a ...click for details

A Very Good Length of Zanshi Boro: Old Cloth and Layers Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1910 item# 1124972
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 $175.00
ca. late nineteenth century 65" x 13 1/4", 165 cm x 33.5 cm This is a really marvelous, old boro fragment. It is a panel taken from a futon cover. What makes this panel better than most, or perhaps more interesting, is its age, the beauty of its fading and wear, the quality of its threads, and the layers of cloth which comprise it. On this webshop we have often spoken of the soulfulness of old cloth and the ito aji or thread taste which is its root. This length of cloth is ...click for details

A Folio of 30 Textile Designs from Kyoto: Meiji Era Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1910 item# 1121313
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 sold
ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century 15 3/4" x 11", 40 cm x 28 cm This "booklet" is composed of thirty leaves of tissue weight paper that have been bound together by two simple bindings on one of the short ends of the group of paper. This assortment of thirty fabulous hand drawn and hand colored designs comes from a textile design studio in Kyoto, and is said to date to the Meiji Era (1868-1912). Each page shows an individual repeat design rendered in a rust ...click for details

A Very Handsome Cotton Furoshiki: Home Spun Cotton Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1920 item# 1121312
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 $145.00
ca. late nineteenth century 38" x 38", 96.5 cm x 96.5 cm This very handsome and subtle indigo dyed cotton furoshiki is more complex than meets the eye. Its color is a warm, rich blue and its cotton yarns are hand spun--of course the cloth is hand woven. The furoshiki, or a traditional wrapping/carrying cloth, is hand stitched from five separate pieces of cotton which were repurposed, presumably from a kimono. On to this surface are hand stitched three patches and in the proper ...click for details

A Superb Boro Shibori Mat: Narumi Kongata Patch Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1920 item# 1121309
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 $425.00
ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century 38" x 24", 96.5 cm x 61 cm This mat of indigo dyed shibori and katazome cottons is something of a masterwork of random, haphazard and, perhaps unintentional, beauty. The base cloth of hand spun, hand woven shibori dyed cotton is just stunning: it is a complex pattern of nui or stitched shibori based on the fundo tsunagi or a stylized repeat of a counterweight design. The way the shibori is dyed--mottled, contrasting--makes the surfac ...click for details

A Beautiful Resist Dyed Boro: Two Panels, Many Patches Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1910 item# 1098722
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 $275.00
ca. late nineteenth century 72" x 25", 183 cm x 63.5 cm This is a magnificently beautiful and richly patched two panel, indigo dyed cotton boro textile: simply stunning. The field is a katazome or stencil resist dyed cotton cloth that shows a traditional pattern of chrysanthemums and karakusa, a Japanese form of arabesque. On the "wrong" side of the cloth, which we are highlighting here, you see the ghost image of the katazome pattern which read much clearer on the pr ...click for details

An Exceptionally Good Komebukuro: Hemp Cloth Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1910 item# 1091187
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 sold
ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century 8" x 8" x 8", 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm This is the kind of komebukuro, or festival rice bag, that you dream of finding. It is a simply stunning example of this kind of small, drawstring bag that was used to carry offerings of dried rice or beans to temple and shrine festivals in old Japan. It is made of hemp cloth--about 18 pieces in all--and the eye catching beauty of this bag is its symmetrical construction, its fine condition, ...click for details

A Length of Rustic Hemp Katazome Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1910 item# 1087854
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559
ca. mid to late nineteenth century 56" x 13", 142 cm x 33 cm This length of thickly woven hemp cloth is meant for a connoisseur of this kind of rustic katazome cloth: it is always wonderful to find a length of resist dyed figured cloth such as this which is woven from hemp, and has age. The indigo dye has gracefully faded, both from exposure to light and from wear: there is a decided surface patina which indicates this, and which, we think, adds to the beauty of this cloth. T ...click for details

A Large Cotton Furoshiki: Sashiko Stitched Corners Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1920 item# 1086596
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 sold
ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century 56" x 54", 142 cm x 137 cm A furoshiki is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth: some furoshiki are used in a genteel manner to offer a gift to a friend and are delicate in design, while others are made for hard work, to haul bundles or to store things. This hand loomed cotton, large, four panel furoshiki falls into the second category. It was mean to be a work horse--but it is a handsome one at that, what with the lovely indigo and ...click for details
