About the Item

From our recent Japanese acquisitions travels- marvelous wall art This is a fine Japanese 19th century hand spun, indigo dyed tsutsugaki chrysanthemums pattern hand drawn in the Shonai district of the Meiji period. Tsutugaki were free hand drawn using resist method to make. Special bedding covers, futon-ji, like this one were often given as coveted wedding gifts and were often considered part of a bride's dowry. Fine quality ones like this example, were typically owned by wealthy families and used as futon covers. The free-hand resist technique is drawn with a "tsutsu" (much like a pastry cone) and creates a much more lively image than can be attained by stencil dyeing. Dimensions: 51 inches by 64.5 inches This theme of chrysanthemums was especially auspicous for a newly married couple, with each element having its own characteristic way of overcoming hardship (the cold winter.) The free-hand resist drawn with a "tsutsu" (much like a pastry cone) creates a much more lively image than can be attained by stencil dyeing. It is immediately and eminently frameable. We have never seen another. Good condition please see photos. Photographed in natural light. Provenance: old Northern Kyoto collection History of Tsutsugaki (??) - is a Japanese technique of resist dyeing that involves drawing rice-paste designs on cloth, dyeing the cloth, and then washing off the paste. The rice paste is typically made from sweet rice, which has a high starch content and is therefore rather sticky. The paste is applied through a tube (the tsutsu) similar to the tubes which are used by bakers to decorate cakes. A related process is to apply the paste through a stencil; that is called katazome.The cloth is typically cotton, and the dye is typically indigo, so the design is usually white on blue. Banners for shops or other purposes are sometimes made in this manner. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our Asian works of art come with our lifetime authenticity guarantee.
