Fabric Description: This thin lightweight and translucent mesh-like fabric is called Asa, flax or hemp-based traditional fabric made in Japan for centuries up until the 1950s or 1960s; Asa is usually harder than silk or cotton and has utilitarian purposes such as coverings, screen mesh, work clothing; Asa is stronger and lasts longer than cotton; This particular piece is stiffer in the hand, but thinner and lighter than much older asa that we see, so it might have been intended for use in making a garment of some type. (probably a summer garment); this black fabric has very small-scale geometric maze-like designs done by the interweaving; the lines of the maze are white with some burgundy-red accents scattered throughout the full field of the fabric (see close-ups); same on both sides.
Condition: Excellent for age.
