Thank you for viewing! This is Echigo Jofu fabric with a Yagasuri (arrow feather) pattern. It was originally used as a noren (shop curtain), which has been disassembled. There are many holes and tears in various places, so I hope you can use it as fabric♪ Echigo Jofu is a high-quality linen fabric woven from the fibers of the ramie plant (karamushi), mainly produced in Minamiuonuma City and Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture. The texture, refreshing feel, and the linear design of the Yagasuri pattern harmonize, making it popular as a casual, high-class summer kimono. The Yagasuri pattern is a traditional design that has been loved for a long time. Echigo Jofu, which is a Japanese Important Intangible Cultural Property, with the Yagasuri pattern applied by hand-tying, is a very rare and valuable item that requires high skill and effort. Arrows do not return once shot, so the pattern is associated with "not returning" and has been cherished as a lucky pattern for bridal trousseaus, warding off evil, and protection.
