This textile features traditional Japanese indigo dyeing with striking shibori patterns. The diamond-shaped motifs with radiating lines were created by binding and resisting the dye, leaving behind rhythmic and organic designs.
　
Over time, the indigo has faded into soft shades of blue, while visible mending and patchwork traces speak of its long use in daily life. The cloth embodies both the artistry of shibori and the Japanese spirit of cherishing and reusing fabric through repair.
　
Dating from the early to mid-20th century, it is a piece that carries the warmth of hand-dyeing and the quiet beauty of time-worn textiles.
