Antique Natural Hemp Piece

An antique Japanese hemp textile, woven from thick natural hemp threads and showing extensive signs of age and use. The purpose of the piece is uncertain, though its substantial handwoven texture and repaired surface suggest it was once an everyday utilitarian household cloth. This piece has a slightly coarse hand and rustic texture. Its generous width of approximately 84cm is uncommon for antique Japanese hemp textiles, making it particularly suitable for hanging, interior display. It is in good antique condition with mending, stains, holes and fraying consistent with age. Material: hemp Width: 84 cm Length: 134 cm
