Vintage Japanese Hand Crafted Indigo Textile of a Tiger in a Bamboo Forest
Located in Barrington, IL
A rare and visually powerful vintage Japanese hand-crafted indigo textile, featuring a dynamic depiction of a tiger amidst a bamboo forest. This traditional design draws on deep symbolism in Japanese folklore, where the tiger is revered as a protective guardian spirit—an embodiment of strength, courage, and mystical power.

Rendered in indigo-dyed natural fibers, the hand-executed design marries folklore and craftsmanship in a highly decorative and culturally resonant textile.
Ideal for use as wall art, a tapestry, or a statement piece in globally inspired interiors, this textile brings a sense of myth, nature, and Japanese heritage to refined contemporary or traditional spaces. A unique collector’s piece for those drawn to symbolic art and hand-crafted textiles.

Vintage American Navajo Rug in Chinle Pattern in Cornmeal, Black, Ivory, Gray
