A Beautiful Old Zokin: Pieced Traditional Dust Rag

mid twentieth century
11 1/2" x 13 1/4", 29 cm x 33.5 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.
