History: Nihonbashi, a bridge located at what was once the front gate of Edo castle in old Tokyo, was ordered to be built in 1604 by the new Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa as the starting point for five major highways to other parts of Japan. Even today, a marker in the middle of the bridge indicates the '0' point for Route #1, the famous Tokaido, to western Japan. In this reproduction of a well known woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), a daimyo's procession is just beginning its journey to the provinces. It is led by servants bearing keyari (feather topped lances ) to announce their lord's presence-- for travelers of lesser rank must make way as he passes.
Our small size wall hangings are made from handkerchiefs, scarves and small furoshiki. 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.
