Country of origin: Japan (Senshu) Specifications: Dye print [Choju Jinbutsu Giga] This is a Japanese national treasure and is a scroll of ink painting on paper that has been preserved at Kosanji Temple in Kyoto. It consists of four volumes, A, B, C, and D, and was created around the 12th to 13th century (late Heian period to early Kamakura period). The particularly famous volume, Volume 1, depicts anthropomorphized animals such as rabbits, frogs, and monkeys, and the scenes in it use techniques that are still used in modern manga, so it is known as "Japan's oldest manga." It's thin and dries quickly, so it stays clean. The fabric will become softer and more comfortable with repeated use and washing. You can use it or display it as an interior decoration.
