AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare and beautiful set of vintage Japanese "Yumigahama Kasuri" (弓ヶ浜絣) indigo-dyed cotton textiles. This traditional folk textile features a classic and auspicious Japanese motif: carp swimming in a running stream (流水に鯉) alongside the Three Friends of Winter (松竹梅 - Pine, Bamboo, and Plum blossom).
As authentic antique/vintage "kofu" (old fabric), it possesses a wonderful rustic character, making it ideal for collectors, textile art displays, or upcycling projects.
