now swatching - japanese cottons

(enlarged to show better detail)




Found these yesterday on a sourcing expedition. They are the traditional Japanese cotton used for yukata. Not sure if they are actually indigo dyed (unlikely - it's rare these days). There's a great gallery of vintage yukata here.
