Japanese Indigo Dyed Old Embroidery Cloth / Japanese Toy Pattern / 1912-1960

About the Item

It is a Japanese indigo dyed antique cloth. It calls its name "fu-ro-shi-ki". Originally used in the dressing room of the public bath "furo" during the Edo period. The purpose is to spread this cloth and wrap your clothes. Over time, it has become a tool for wrapping and carrying things. I think it was made from the Taisho era to the middle of the Showa era (1912-1960). This embroidered pattern is inspired by the traditional Japanese toy "ka-za-gu-ru-ma". This is a toy that has wings like a windmill attached to the tip of a stick of about 30 cm, and the wings rotate by running or swinging its arms. It is a toy from the Showa period in Japan. It is a cloth with only the image of its wings embroidered. The condition is very good. It is very beautiful when hung on the wall. it's recommended!
