This is a piece of sarasa, a type of Japanese textile inspired by Indian printed cottons. The cloth is decorated with floral and vine motifs in soft tones of pink and brown, created through stencil or block printing techniques.
Sarasa became highly valued in Japan from the Edo period onward, admired for its exotic patterns and later reinterpreted by Japanese artisans into their own unique styles. This particular piece shows gentle fading from age, which adds depth and softness to the overall design.
A small repair patch is visible, revealing that the fabric was once used in everyday life. It embodies both the decorative elegance of sarasa and the Japanese spirit of treasuring and reusing cloth.
