Igusa Wall Tapestry – Sakura-Fuji

For a home with no tokonoma (the traditional display alcove), a way to hang Japan on the wall. Japanese artisans weave each of these igusa tapestries, about 60 x 90 cm (24 x 35 in), one at a time. The same domestically grown igusa as tatami, woven large, gives shadow and texture that shift with the light, the depth of a natural material that no print can match. Hang it and a Japanese scene rises with igusa's faint scent. Natural-material decor that needs no watering and no upkeep. For a home, a shop, or the setting of an inn or hotel. • Size: about 60 x 90 cm (about 24 x 35 in) • Material: domestically grown igusa (woven) • Form: wall-hung tapestry Sakura Fuji (Cherry Blossom and Fuji): two symbols of Japan, cherry blossom and Mount Fuji, in one piece. The design best suited to a gift for someone abroad, or the 'face' of an entryway.
