Hand-Dyed Indigo Carp Tapestry

This handcrafted Japanese indigo tapestry features a traditional carp motif, a symbol of perseverance and good fortune, stencil-dyed using fermented Tadeai indigo (Sukumo) from Tokushima, Japan. Dyed exclusively with natural fermented indigo and wood ash lye (without synthetic dyes) it achieves the deep, luminous hue historically known as “Japan Blue.” 

Woven from 100% ramie (Asakibira), a traditional Japanese hemp plain weave with a rich textile history, each tapestry carries the unique character of handmade craftsmanship. Created from start to finish by a single artisan, it features a rod pocket at the top for easy hanging (rod not included). While each tapestry is sold individually, a pair creates a striking display. One of a kind.
