- Description
- Temple Wall Hanging in a brocade of silk and gilt paper on a deep indigo ground of floating silk thread warp; Ho 'O birds alternate with Paulownia motifs in clay, blues, grey-greens, and beige with off-white paper outlining the design; the delicacy of the textile was acceptable for temple hanging where it would not be susceptible to damage. The leafy plant motif is from the Paulownia tree and was used as the family crest for the Toyotomi family.
