Tapestry from Kuriyama Kobo, Kyoto, famous for high-end kimonos and obi. 100% linen, 118 x 44 cm (excluding the string). A rare item, rarely seen even on sales sites. The entire tapestry depicts a river, with medaka (Japanese rice fish) swimming leisurely. As expected from Kuriyama Kobo, the flowing river and the lively medaka are beautifully depicted. It blends well with Japanese houses, traditional-style houses, and rooms with an Asian taste, and can also be used as a noren (Japanese split curtain). Kuriyama Kobo: A traditional dyeing workshop in Kyoto, known for establishing a unique genre called "Wazome Bingata," which combines "Ryukyu Bingata," a traditional Okinawan technique, with Kyoto's "Kyo Yuzen." Founded in 1952 by the first Yoshisaburo Kuriyama. While kimonos and obi (such as Nagoya obi) are the main products, they also create parasols, bags, and small items made of linen to suit modern lifestyles. Kuriyama Kobo's works are known as "Kuriyama Bingata" among kimono enthusiasts for their unique sense of color and modern designs. This item is made of natural material and has been stored at home for many years. There are some color unevenness and fraying, but it is a beautiful item. I am also listing other tapestries.
