Japanese Shoki (demon queller) doll for the Japanese Boy's Day. The story of Shoki came from ancient Chinese folklore. He was known to cure ailing emperor of the Tang Dynasty when he was plagued with nightmares. Shoki showed up in the emperor's dream and chased the demons away. This store was later adopted by the Japanese. Shoki became to be the only non-Japanese figure displayed in early Japanese Boy's Day festival since the Edo period (1603-1868). Circa 1970 to 1990. ...click for details

Beautiful Kyoto Yuzen-zome (paste resist dye) hand-dyed daffodils on purple, 100 percent silk. Some designs are dyed to be matched for the wider width. This is probably from mid Showa, 30 to 50 years old, so there might be a slight color loss. The spots that you see are the design in the fabric and the stains in the background (if it showed up in your monitor) are only from the poor quality photos. Full roll and good quality silk.
