This jacket is well-used, as is quite obvious. To describe its color is difficult: it is a kind of medium-range grey blue; the hemp cloth itself is woven of exceedingly narrow stripes which gives a misty appearance to the neutral color. As with most hemp cl ...click for details

A Layered Shibori Mat: Fascinating Techniques Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Textiles: Pre 1960 item# 1091188
click for details		Sri Textiles tel 718-599-2559 sold
ca. mid twentieth century 35" x 25", 89 cm x 63.5 cm It is interesting that whoever created this sitting mat did so out of some very precious pieces of cotton cloth. The face of the mat is made from a beautiful shibori cotton, one that it is beautifully murky in its sapphire tones and shows two, layered shibori techniques, one on top of the other, which produce an undulating, water surface effect. Note the elongated oval repair to the center, right of the cloth, the patch being ...click for details

ca. mid to late twentieth century sashiko stitched area: 20 1/4" x 16", 51.5 cm x 40.5 cm This is a sashiko stitched cotton maekake or a traditional apron. Maekake, were worn by everyone in old Japan, especially by women--and they were a part of the every day work outfit.

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

ca. late nineteenth, early twentieth century 37" x 13", 94 cm x 33 cm Tsunobukuro, or so-called horn bags, are traditionally configured and sewn from one piece of cloth, usually some form of asa or bast fiber cloth. It is rather unusual that this lovely example, shown here, is hand stitched from a length of green dyed hemp kaya, or mosquito netting. Unlike some mosquito netting that is a fragile hemp mesh cloth, this kaya is quite sturdy and of an attractive green color, the ...click for details

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
