A Kasuri Zokin: Repaired Dust Cloth

mid twentieth century
9" x 10 1/4", 23 cm x 26 cm

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

This is a handsome fairly thick zokin which is sewn from recycled kasuri cotton cloth which has been sashiko stitched in a loose manner. 

The very subtle repairs shown on the detail photos here add visual appeal.

Just wonderful.
