I received this item as a gift, which I purchased in Kyoto. Made of sturdy cotton fabric. Traditional printing technique: nassen (dyeing). The color goes all the way through to the back. Approximately 37 x 55.5 cm. Includes 1 cm thick cardboard stapled at the top and bottom. Designed to be easily inserted into a tapestry. Would also look great framed. Has it been used before? Stored at home. No stains or dirt. Thank you for looking.
