This particular piece illustrates the sashiko (running stitch) beautifully, displaying Japanese history incredibly. The surface reveals a rich layering of tones - from deep indigo to softer blue-green hues - along with subtle variations in weave, including fine checks and plain weaves. Light wear, small holes, and fraying edges are present, consistent with the age and use.
