Material
Cotton

This is a piece of Japanese vintage cotton fabric, originally used as a futon cover in the Tohoku region during the early to mid Showa period.

After serving its purpose as bedding, the futon cover was carefully taken apart by its original owner and preserved as a single sheet of fabric, rather than being discarded.

The act of unpicking and reusing reflects a quiet but deliberate decision — recognizing the value of the material itself and preparing it to be passed on for future use.

The checkered cotton fabric shows signs of long use: natural fading, small holes, and visible repair marks.

These are not flaws, but layers of time — textures and irregularities that can never be replicated through mass production.

This fabric does not exist to be assigned a single purpose.

It can serve as material for remaking, garment construction, patchwork, interior use, or as a background textile for photography and styling.

Only when it is entrusted to the imagination of the next user does it become complete.

In recent years, Japanese antique textiles and futon covers have gained strong recognition among overseas designers, artists, and stylists as truly one-of-a-kind materials.

This piece, too, exists with the intention of being given a new role by its next owner.

Please enjoy the inherent strength and character of the fabric itself, without limiting its possibilities.
