E-Gasuri Koi & Crane Sheet | Japanese Indigo

Kasuri 絣 is the Japanese style of ikat, where the threads of the material are resist-dyed before being woven. This piece is specifically e-gasuri (picture kasuri) as the image created is recognizable. This piece was later patched and reinforced with sashiko stitching. Boro is a Japanese form of recycling coming from an economic necessity in which fabric is patched on the reverse side to preserve the usability. The beauty comes from the unintentional artistry created from layers of mending. Indigo Dyed Cotton Meiji Era (1868-1912) 71" x 60" (length, width) SKU: FT-Y3259
