A Length of Egasuri: Umbrellas in Ikat

early to mid twentieth century
63" x 14", 160 cm x 35.5 cm

This is good-sized length of indigo dyed cotton egasuri or picture kasuri.

The repeat pattern is a weft-based design of closed umbrellas, each staggered and each row a mirror-image of the one that precedes it.

The indigo dyed is of a medium tone and the hand woven cloth is of good weight.

The kasuri itself is of a really charming design and is typically Japanese.

In good, used condition.
