$160.00Price
Quantity

Japanese vintage cotton textile dyed with Benibana (safflower), a traditional Japanese natural dye known for its delicate shades of pink and red.

 

The soft pink color has developed subtle variations and fading over time, giving the fabric a gentle, uneven appearance.

 

Several pieces of faded pink and beige cotton have been layered over worn areas and secured with dark hand stitching. The geometric arrangement of patches and rows of running stitches reveal the repeated repairs made to preserve the cloth.

 

Frayed edges, irregular seams, and softened cotton reflect years of use. The faded Benibana tones and visible mending create a distinctive surface shaped by time and handwork.

 

Measures : 75cm(29.5in) x 33cm(13in)
