Vintage Japanese Kaya Cloth Linen dish towel Frame: Iron and BrassA beautiful vintage Japanese kaya (mosquito net) panel woven from lightweight ramie or hemp and dyed a deep blue green. Originally part of a household mosquito net, this narrow panel features an airy open weave that allows light to pass through while highlighting the natural texture of the fiber. Softened through age and use, the textile has a wonderful drape and subtle variations in color that reflect traditional hand dyeing and years of gentle wear.
