Thank you for viewing. This is a cloth featuring wax-resist dyeing (ろうけつ染め, rōketsu-zome) from the Chinese Miao ethnic minority, with colorful embroidery applied. Miao women believe that "the more intricate the patterns, the stronger the power of prayer and blessing," and they have spared no time or effort, striving to make them as beautiful as possible. ■ About the Craft ・Wax-resist dyeing, where patterns are drawn one by one on natural fabric using beeswax. ・A sophisticated process of dyeing and then adding hand embroidery. ・Since everything is handmade, no two are exactly alike. Geometric patterns, circular patterns, and plant patterns are said to symbolize nature, cycles, protection, and prosperity. ■ Recommended Uses ・Interior decoration (wall hangings, tapestries) ・Collection, ethnic craft research ・Exhibition, background cloth for photography ■ Condition (Please be sure to check) ※ The color may differ slightly between the photo and the actual item due to lighting conditions. ※ There are no major tears, but it is not a completely new item.
