FOUR PANEL KUMANOZOME FUTON COVER
Japan
Late 19th century
Indigo-dyed cotton
60″ x 50″
This exceptional four-panel kumanozome has an entrancing optical effect. Kumanozome refers to a place of origin, an area near present-day Okayama Prefecture. The region is well-known for producing this type of cloth; however, a piece of this size and quality from the 19th century is rare.
Available at Lawton Mull and on view until June 25th 2025 as part of our exhibition, ORDINARY SPLENDOR, a collaboration with Sri.
