Oriental Delft Blue Koinobori Fish Scale Pattern Fleece Blanket

People who are into everything Japanese will like this fleece blanket with this Koinobori Delft blue pattern on a white background. A traditional Japanese fish scale seamless pattern in traditional Dutch Delft blue. Deep blue on white is a beautiful traditional Chinese combination for porcelain, which was exported all over the world. It is a simple abstract design of fish scale you see a lot in Japanese prints. This kind of pattern is often used on fabric for yukata or a jinbei, traditional Japanese clothes for in the hot summer months. But I have seen the pattern also those typical Japanese windsocks, the Koinobori. When you think of this type of fabric, resist dyeing comes to mind. In Japan vintage techniques are roketsuzome with wax, katazome, yuzen and tsutsgaki with rice paste. A favourite method of applying paste is by means of a stencil.
