Antique Japanese Indigo-Dyed Tsutsugaki Cotton Fabric with Crane Motif – Futon Cover Fragment, Late Edo Period – BRKW141
Description:
This indigo-dyed cotton fabric is a fragment from a traditional Japanese futon cover, crafted in the late Edo period. It features a crane motif created using the tsutsugaki technique, a traditional resist-dyeing method in which rice paste is applied through a cone-shaped tube to draw the design. The crane is a classic symbol in Japanese culture, representing longevity and good fortune.
Handwoven and dyed with natural indigo, the fabric showcases the bold, expressive lines characteristic of tsutsugaki, along with a warm, rustic charm. The signs of age and use give it a rich patina and convey its long history.
This piece is a valuable example of Japanese folk craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of antique textiles, folk art enthusiasts, or those interested in traditional dyeing techniques. It can also be creatively repurposed in modern ways—used as a part of clothing, wrapped around the waist or neck, or incorporated into sashiko, textile collage, or rustic interior decor.
