This beautiful faded calico textile is called Wasarasa(Japanese calico).

 

Production of Japanese sarasa (calico) began in the Edo period when skillful Japanese dye workers found a method to inspire the designs of Indian calicos. 

 

Sakai-sarasa is characterized by exotic patterns and dynamic floral designs based on ochre, green, and reddish brown on a blue ground.

 

This one was printed on hand-weaved cotton length. 

 

Material: cotton 100%
