Japanese Vintage Cotton Flag, Wabi Sabi, 19th Century

About the Item

The cotton textile in the form of a scroll made during the Meiji era was originally made as a flag. At that time, cotton was a rare material, and only influential figures or wealthy farmers in the region could afford to use it to make flags. Nowadays, It can now be used as a wall decoration for your interior. It will undoubtedly bring a sense of wabi-sabi to your space, adding a pleasant and subtle accent. The color gradation, which has changed over time, interacts beautifully with the light and gently sways in the breeze.
