Description

A SILK KESA TEXTILE, EDO PERIOD, 19TH CENTURY
This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve

Japan. The intricate fabric quilted using pieces of colorful woven textiles with variously colored sinuous dragons and birds with vibrant plumage, against an orange ground woven with gold threads, lined to the back with white silk brocade fitted with two loop-cord attachments.

Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and traces of use. The lining with some soiling and few stains.

Dimensions: Size 196 x 117 cm

This textile is a ‘kesa’, a rectangular garment worn by Japanese Buddhist priests. Kesa are normally made of a sewn patchwork of cloth, the arrangement of the sections of fabric into columns surrounded by a border serving as a mandala, a symbolic rendering of the universe. This is an example of a pictorial kesa. It has an elegant design of butterflies and flowers, the changing ground colour being achieved through the resist-dyeing of the warp threads. The fabric used here was not cut up into individual pieces. Instead, lengths were sewn side by side and silk cord was then sewn onto the surface to represent the traditional patchwork divisions.
