A novelty item from Meiji Life Insurance. 100% cotton. Size: 70 x 70 cm. It says "Edo dyeing," but it looks similar to wax resist dyeing. I think it would be good as a small furoshiki (wrapping cloth) or as an interior cloth. The fabric is sturdy. I received it and have kept it stored at home ever since. I don't see any stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections. It will be folded and shipped.
