Hand-pieced in the quiet hours of rural Japan, this textile carries over a century of wear, repair, and reverence. Cut from a mid-to-late 1800s futonji—a patchworked bedding cloth made from dyed cotton scraps—this fabric tells the story of utility elevated to art. Stitches overlap like topographic lines, each mend a quiet act of resilience. Faded hues of deep indigo reveal years of use, sunlight, and life lived close to the earth.
