early twentieth century

This is a length of simply designed and boldly patterned woven plaid cloth in colors of brown and deep indigo.

The length was taken from a futon cover which, when seen in total, must have been alluring to the eyes for its graphic appeal.

Plaid cloth was woven in countless variation in old Japan and it is a type of cloth that might not seem very "Japanese" in spirit, but it is. Here have a look at plaids as they appear in ukiyo-e prints from a century or two ago.

This length is in good, used condition and is as handsome as it is visually enchanting.
