A Beautifully Stitched and Textured Zokin: Dustrag

mid twentieth century
7 3/4" x 12 1/4" , 19.5 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 handsome zokin which is sewn from recycled cotton cloth which has been beautifully sashiko stitched in dark colored thread.

The stitching is beautifully executed and creates a beautiful texture. Just wonderful.

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