Kyoto Daimaru Woven Shantung Table Runner In Paulownia Wood Box

Vintage Kyoto Daimaru Cotton Shantung Table Runner In Paulownia Wood Box

This unique table runner is made of shantung fabric (probably silk but not sure) in a scene that depcts the original storefront of Kyoto’s iconic Daimaru Department Store which opened in 1717 as a textile shop. It is double-sewn and is plain gold on the back. It was probably intended as a gift for special customers. It is in perfect, unused condition in its original paulownia wood box  – see photos for details.

Made in Kyoto Japan
