A Length of Lightweight Katazome Cotton Cloth: Suppleness
early twentieth century 54" x 13 1/2", 137 cm x 34 cm This is a length of lightweight, drapey cotton that is dyed in the katazome method. The pattern is stenciled on both sides of the cloth and is summery in nature: it shows a languid stream being visited by dragonflies, a charming visual combination and one that conjures the feeling of the cooling nature of water on a hot summer day. In good, used condition, this length is supple enough to easily be used as a scarf or to be admired on its on, as-is.
