Sakiori Panels

Two panels of traditional sakiori rag weaving   that were intended to be turned into a   work vest or jacket   but never made it that far.  They're made with  spaces for fitting the collar, but of course the panels could be used for something else.  They've come as a pair but one is about 4cm  longer than the other. (see photos)   They're 28.5cm wide by 133 and 137 cm long.   Sakiori is usually associated with northern Japan but I believe these are  from the Sada-Misaki peninsular in Ehime prefecture on Shikoku.  There  was a strong sakiori  tradition in Sada-Misaki  up until  around the early post-war period when, like  other folk textile traditions,  it fell out of everyday use.
