Vintage Japanese Hand Crafted Indigo Textile of a Tiger in a Bamboo Forest
About the Item
A rare and visually powerful vintage Japanese hand-crafted indigo textile, featuring a dynamic depiction of a tiger amidst a bamboo forest. This traditional design draws on deep symbolism in Japanese folklore, where the tiger is revered as a protective guardian spirit—an embodiment of strength, courage, and mystical power.
The tiger was believed to command the forest and mountains, its thunderous roar capable of warding off evil spirits and demons. In classical writings, it was even titled the “King of the Mountain,” said to carry a hidden treasury of blessings. Rendered in indigo-dyed natural fibers, the hand-executed design marries folklore and craftsmanship in a highly decorative and culturally resonant textile.
Ideal for use as wall art, a tapestry, or a statement piece in globally inspired interiors, this textile brings a sense of myth, nature, and Japanese heritage to refined contemporary or traditional spaces. A unique collector’s piece for those drawn to symbolic art and hand-crafted textiles.

View AllVintage 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.
