This is a vintage Japanese cotton textile featuring a soft indigo zigzag pattern, likely created using katazome (traditional stencil dyeing). The subtle fade and patchwork repairs reflect its long history of use and care.
 
With its gentle rhythm and naturally aged character, this piece embodies the Japanese philosophy of mottainai—cherishing and reusing what already exists. It’s ideal for visible mending, patchwork, textile art, or as a display textile with authentic wabi-sabi charm.
