This is a gradual release from a relative's collection. They are parting with it as they are satisfied with it for display purposes. It has been stored in a chest and has never been used (worn) since purchase. Acquisition Story: A portion of the items were acquired about 10 years ago at a famous Asian雑貨店 in Shibuya. According to the shop owner at the time, they were "antique items collected during a trip about 20 years ago visiting workshops in various villages in Indonesia." Therefore, it is believed to have been made over 50 years ago. It is said that it is difficult to obtain similar batik items now due to the decrease in artisans and changes in manufacturing methods, and it is unlikely that new ones will be made. Recently, a relative revisited the shop and found that the old batik in stock had been sold in bulk to collectors, and that high-quality handmade antiques were no longer available there. Condition: It was kept for display purposes and only occasionally hung on the wall. No smoking or pets. They are parting with some items as they are satisfied with them. No washing or ironing to prevent fading. * As it is an old cloth, there may be small holes, thin fabric, and fading. Price Setting: Art and collection price setting. It is rare, and the price is increasing year by year, with antique items generally exceeding 100,000 yen in stores. It is difficult to find and purchase similar items locally, so their value is increasing. Description of Patterns and Origins: The owner and I are amateurs, so we cannot provide detailed explanations. We believe it would be best if those who understand from the photos purchase it. The actual item is darker in color than the photos. Fabric: High-quality 100% cotton with a smooth, fine-threaded, and tightly woven texture, like porcelain. Size: Size of a men's sarong, approximately 2 x 1m Noticeable Scratches, Stains, Tears, Holes, etc.: One small hole when held up to the light. Individual Item ① Features: Slight fading in the central area of the fabric. This pattern is said to be very popular with men in the local area. Just by looking at and touching it, you can enjoy the breath of the old artisans and the generous sensibilities of the time, which are unique to handmade items. We would like to deliver it to those who collect them and those who are interested (^-^) #OldCloth #Antique #Batik #Indonesia #WaxResistDyeing #Fabric #Cotton #Tapestry
