| ca. late Nineteenth, early Twentieth century 8 1/4" x 6", 21 cm x 15 cm Very collectible, a shima cho is a home made book showing small samples of hand woven cloth, many of which were purportedly woven at home by one family. It has been said that these sample albums were created by a family to remember the weaving patterns done by family members, and it has also been said that brides would take this album to the home of her in-laws so as to remember the weaving traditions of her own family. This shima cho is rich in hand woven cotton fragments, many of which are the dark, subtle narrow stripes popular in the late Edo era, ca. 1800-1868. There are 4 1/2 leaves of samples showing 9 pages of fragments. | ||||||||||||||
