Antique Japanese Indigo Boro Wall Hanging / Rug

This is a late Meiji period Kasuri indigo blanket. 

It has worn and patched over time to create a beautiful boro piece.

Kasuri indigo dye refers to the traditional Japanese ikat (resist-dyeing) technique where yarns are bound and dyed with natural indigo before weaving to create intricate, often blurred patterns in fabric, like the famous Kurume Kasuri, a complex, multi-step process requiring fermented indigo and wood ash lye for the deep, soulful blue that ages beautifully.

Oldest patch cloth is from 1910's.
