This large indigo textile is made from old ramie cloth, likely choma (a traditional Japanese bast fiber), originally used for kimono garments. Carefully disassembled and reconstructed, the fabric carries visible signs of wear—holes, fraying, and hand-stitched repairs—telling the story of a material that was cherished and used over generations.
 
The subtle gradations of light blue, the layering of patches, and the delicate transparency of the weave reveal its organic character. This piece embodies the Japanese philosophy of “mottainai” (not wasting what still has value) and “yō no bi” (beauty in utility).
 
Ideal as a wall hanging, room divider, or artistic installation, it brings quiet presence and historical depth to any space.
