A Pieced and Stitched Zokin: Traditional Cleaning Rag

mid twentieth century
9 1/2" x 12 1/2" , 24 cm x 31.25 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.
