This antique textile features a katazome (stencil resist-dyeing) pattern of cranes and folding fans—both symbols of longevity, elegance, and good fortune in Japanese tradition.

 

The fabric, hand-dyed in natural indigo, shows the gentle fading and softness that only comes with age and use. Each crane is delicately rendered, its wings spread like a fan, surrounded by swirling cloud motifs (kumo), evoking movement and grace.

 

Originally part of a kimono or futon cover, this piece is a quiet fragment of everyday beauty from generations past. It carries the atmosphere of handwork, time, and the lived-in texture of rural Japan.

 

Perfect as a wall hanging, textile art, or for use in a modern interior with a sense of wabi-sabi stillness.
