A Pieced Zokin: Stitched Traditional Dust Rag

mid twentieth century
8 1/4" x 12 1/4" , 21 cm x 31 cm 

Zokin are traditional Japanese dustrags which are almost always made from layered and sashiko stitched scraps of cloth.

This is a good-sized and very handsome zokin which is sewn from pieced-together recycled cotton cloth which has been beautifully sashiko stitched.

The stitching is beautifully executed. Just wonderful.

A very good looking zokin with a lovely composition and good color.
