The first one is square mat in near perfect condition dating from early 20th century. It's made up of pieces of kasuri, stripes and printed cotton with a maroon check on the reverse.
The next one is another slightly older mat. It's quite heavily layered and has some unrepaired damage. i love the red in the kasuri down the side - just gives a lift and some added warmth:
The last one for now is a lovely soft, faded, late 19th century katazome (stencil dyed) futon cover panel with boro patches on the back.
