This antique textile is hand-woven from ramie, a bast fiber long valued in Japan for its strength and breathability. The fabric carries a coarse yet refined texture, softened and aged through decades of use.
 
On its surface, several square patches of vegetable-dyed cotton have been stitched, once intended as functional repairs but now forming an abstract composition that shifts beautifully when seen against the light.
　
The piece embodies the Japanese philosophy of reuse and imperfection, echoing the spirit of boro textiles. Condition remains stable with natural patina and visible wear consistent with age, without damage affecting use.
 
Whether hung as an interior partition, displayed as a wall hanging, or appreciated as a textile artwork, it offers a rare glimpse into the quiet beauty of Japanese material culture.
