Tenugui - Artifacts

Description
This flat woven cotton TENUGUI is ivory colored. The top and bottom of the piece are not hemmed and the material is off the bolt lengthwise. A sakura branch in gray with pink cherry blossoms decorate the top portion over the young girl feeding chicks. The girl wears a kerchief and wears work wear, a top in red and blue and pants in brown, gray and white. She holds a basket of feed. She wears ZORI of beige with red straps. Two chicks in gold and beige are at her feet. One looks up at her and the other one at seeds on the ground. Brown thatch scatters the ground. The writing reads "Sakamoto Moritaya phone 84 3864". There is a yellow stain to the left and just under the basket.
