Antique Japanese Textiles - 1 
     from the collection of MARLA MALLETT: TEXTILES
Japanese textile arts cover a wide spectrum: from sophisticated embroidered or brocaded hangings to bold, stunning indigo-dyed, ikat-woven folk art. The creativeness and variety can be astonishing. Of course a major focus of Japanese textile artists has been the kimono and those garments appear in a separate website section: Japanese Kimono. Some of the most stunning of the Japanese brocade weavers' arts appear in  Japanese Obi.   

For more Far Eastern Oriental textile embroideries, brocades and tapestries, see Chinese Textiles, or Chinese Costumes for robes, jackets, skirts, lotus shoes, hats and other costume pieces. Or Chinese Minority Textiles for old Miao, Yao, Zhuang, Gejia and other textiles from Southwest China. Go to our HOME page for textiles from other parts of the world.
