Egasuri Koshimaki

An antique  koshimaki woman's wrap around undergarment.  This is made from two panels of egasuri (picture ikat) indigo cotton - I'm not sure what the egasuri  design is supposed to be.  There's a striped panel  for reinforcement when sitting and some patches and small holes.  Koshimaki were often made from the remnants of other garments.  These panels are were probably from an adult kimono or possibly a futon cover.  It measures 67cm x 118cm.   Early - mid 20th century.
