EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Japanese art from the mid-Edo period. The image features a Kosode, a traditional short-sleeved garment, transformed into a Tobari or Fukusa composed of six panels. Created in the early 18th century, this textile masterpiece is an exquisite example of craftsmanship and design. The Kosode Made into a Tobari or Fukusa is adorned with intricate embroidery using silk and gold leaf over lacquered paper strip wrapped cotton. The surface satin stem and straight stitches add depth and texture to the fabric, creating an enchanting visual effect. The wisteria motif woven into the textile adds a touch of nature's beauty to this stunning artwork. Not only does this piece showcase exceptional needlework techniques such as laid work and couching, but it also demonstrates resourcefulness through recycling materials. The use of recycled silk plain weave with creped wefts further emphasizes the ingenuity behind its creation. Originally used for gift-wrapping purposes, this fukusa holds historical significance as it represents both decorative arts and practicality in Japanese culture during the Edo period. Its vibrant colors and meticulous details make it an invaluable addition to any art collection. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this unknown artist's creation serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage.
