This large patchwork textile is centered around a rare, multicolored katazome (stencil-dyed) fabric, making it an especially unique and eye-catching piece.
The main floral patterns are dyed in multiple hues rather than the more common indigo-only palette, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship and resources invested in the original cloth.
　
Complementing the katazome are a variety of vintage textiles—stripes, plaids, silks, and red-dyed linings (momigara)—each one a remnant of everyday garments, carefully pieced and stitched together.
　
This textile stands not only as an example of Japan’s frugality and fabric reuse culture, but also as a testament to how colorful, artful stencil-dyed cloths were cherished in daily life.
