$18.00 USD
ca. mid twentieth century
12" x 12", 30.25 cm x 30.25 cm
A zokin is a traditional Japanese dust cloth or cleaning rag; it is usually made from old pieces of cloth and it is usually layered and stitched for durability.
Along with diapers, zokin are among the traditional household textiles that represent the end of the line where the repurposing or recycling of cloth is concerned.
This zokin is made from scraps of striped and kasuri woven cottons, and it is heavily stitched.
Really lovely.
