Product Details

Era: Mid-Showa period
Material: Cotton

This vintage cotton fabric is made by unpicking a futon cover from the Mid-Showa period.
The yellow-based checkered pattern gives a soft and warm impression, while the gentle texture of the aged cotton can be felt just by touching it.

The cotton has been washed and used multiple times, giving it a supple feel that evokes the warmth of Showa-era living.
Its unique softness and subdued color tones create a character that modern fabrics cannot replicate.

This fabric is also perfect as an interior textile—use it for framing, table runners, cushion covers, or wall decorations to add a gentle expression and unique charm to your space.

It is also ideal as a material for remaking or handmade projects, such as patchwork, sashiko embroidery, bags, and small crafts, offering endless creative possibilities.

In recent years, Japanese vintage fabrics like this have been highly appreciated overseas as “Japanese vintage fabric”, attracting collectors and creators who value the beauty of aged colors and textures.

This piece allows you to experience the “beauty accumulated over time” in every fold and stitch.

Bring the warmth of the Showa period and the beauty of the checkered pattern into your creations or living space with this fabric.
