Boro Kasuri Nappy

When you find a piece of old  fabric  about this size stitched into a loop  there is a very good chance it was used as a baby's nappy. It was folded into a pad and held in place with a cover. (I used this style of nappy  for my first baby in Japan - not very effective!) .   This one has been made from a remnant piece of  patched  indigo kasuri (ikat)  boro which  looks like it  was originally a kimono.  The patches would  have been on the inside - not against the skin.  It measures 33cm x 50cm  - or  a metre  if you want to open it out. .  Early - mid 20th century.
