This is an indigo-dyed cotton Tsutsugaki from the late Edo to Meiji periods. It is dyed on both sides and is believed to be from the San'in region. In the San'in region, there is a culture of gifting kites and furoshiki (wrapping cloths) decorated with auspicious characters and pictures using Tsutsugaki dyeing for the first celebration of a child's growth (Hatsuage), wishing for the child's healthy development. It is preserved in extremely good condition, but there is a small hole around the center of the top part in the 6th image. There are age-related dullness, color variations, and minor scuffs. Size (at widest part): Approximately 100 x 68.5 cm. Please refrain from purchasing if you are not accustomed to antique fabrics.
