Title: Jade Bamboo
Size: 16 1/2 inches wide by 48 1/2 inches long including tabs. Ready to hang--natural bamboo rod included.
Description: Bamboo in jade green on a light charcoal gray background with subtle crosshatch jade fabric border. The photo doesn't do this design justice--the gray is less yellow than pictured and the jade green much richer).
History: Bamboo grows straight and resilient and is hollow inside so that nothing is hidden. It is a symbol of all the things a Japanese child should learn in order to become of noble character. Poets write about the sound of the wind rustling through its leaves, a famous story tells of a princess being born from bamboo, and it has been used as a motif in Japanese art from early times because of its grace and beauty.
This panel was designed by Keiji Kawakami, the owner of Fujiya in Asakusa, Japan. Kawakami, now in his 80's, has been designing decorative tenugui (kazari) since 1955. Not only is he famous for his own original dyed designs, but also for reviving classic motifs dating back to the 18th century. He only adds about a dozen new designs a year to his collection and tenugui-lovers flock to his shop to purchase them seasonally.
Our scroll size wall Hangings (long and narrow) are made from printed 100% cotton fabric panels, tenugui (printed cotton 'towels') or a noren (doorway curtain). They are machine quilted, hand-guided, using two layers of low loft polyester batting to provide added depth and dimension. Sizes listed under each item are approximate. For the width, the panel size itself is measured not the rod (which extends an inch or so past the panel on each side)--and the length is measured from the top of the tabs to the bottom of the panel.
