A Pieced Kasuri Furoshiki: Machine Stitched with Sashiko Stitched Edges
$50.00 USD
mid twentieth century
38" x 29 1/2", 96.5 cm x 75 cm
This is a relatively heavy weight cotton kasuri furoshiki, that is, an ikat woven traditional Japanese carrying cloth.
The kasuri is of a very handsome design and is weft-based; its deep, rich colors are beautiful.
The furoshiki is machine stitched from smaller pieces while the two long edges of the furoshiki are sashiko stitched by hand, adding a visual charm and a sturdiness to this everyday cloth.
The furoshiki is in good, used condition and its center is a bit distended from its long life of carrying and hauling.
Very attractive.
