Japanese Textile Panel Double Ikat Kasuri Futon Cover

About the Item

A Japanese woven cotton textile panel with white pattern on indigo background circa 1900-20s (end of Meiji to Tasho period). The panel was joined by four vertical stripes and was traditionally used to make the Futonji (futon coverlet). The weaving technique is called e-Kasuri, in this case a double ikat (Tate-Yoko Kasuri; both wefts and warps were pre-dyed to create a perfect pictorial pattern on the loom). The precision of the resistant dye was the key for such textile. On the deep indigo background, the panel is covered with two repetitive geometrical patterns, alternating between two overlapping white squares and a large, latticed diamond shape called "well-crib". The width of the stripe was often restricted by the width of the loom used for such weaving, therefore the futonji was almost always joined by four stripes. The panel, albeit nearly a century old, appears strikingly modern and will make a great wall hanging. For two similar Kasuri futonji, see "Textile of Japan" Prestel, page 306 and 308, illustration 105 and 106. Ikat weaving was originated in Southeast Asia and spread to Japan Mainland in the 17th century via Okinawa (14th century). The cotton production accelerated the development of the textile industry on a much larger scale by then in the Edo period when Kasuri became very popular among the general population.

Vintage Hand Woven Indonesian Ikat Textile Panel
Located in Barrington, IL
A striking vintage hand-woven Ikat textile panel from Indonesia, dating to the mid-1900s. This artisanal piece features a bold abstract design, achieved through the meticulous process of warp ikat—a technique in which the threads are selectively tie-dyed before weaving to create complex, interlocking patterns. Woven from natural cotton fibers, this panel likely originates from the Lesser Sunda Islands in eastern Indonesia, possibly from the culturally rich island of Sumba. The intricate craftsmanship and dynamic geometric forms reflect traditional Indonesian textile artistry while offering a timeless, global aesthetic. Ideal for display as wall-mounted tribal art, this textile adds texture, heritage, and warmth to any interior, whether as a centerpiece in modern spaces or a complementary accent in eclectic or traditional décor. A refined collector’s piece for lovers of indigenous craftsmanship and global design.
