About the Item

This 19th-century Ainu Attus (bark fiber) robe is a remarkable testament to the cultural heritage and resilience of the Ainu people. Crafted with meticulous care, it stands as an exceedingly rare and exceptional piece of Ainu craftsmanship. The foundation of this robe is woven from the fibers of elm bark, a material intrinsically linked to the Ainu's deep connection to the natural world. The indigo cotton embroidered trim adorning this Attus robe is a striking testament to their unique cultural aesthetic, showcasing a rich history of artistry. The Ainu are an indigenous people native to the northern regions of Japan, with a history rich in traditions and customs. They have faced adversity and marginalization over the centuries, making this robe's remarkable preservation all the more significant. What sets this piece apart is its extraordinary condition and double-sided design. It can be proudly displayed with either side facing out, allowing you to appreciate the intricate details of the indigo-dyed cotton embroidery and the elm bark fiber weave. This Ainu Attus robe not only represents a tangible connection to a resilient and distinctive culture but also stands as a symbol of the enduring spirit of the Ainu people. It has been lovingly mounted on a custom steel wall mount, ensuring it can be enjoyed and admired for generations to come, making it a rare and treasured addition to any collection of cultural artifacts.
