Uchishiki Buddhist ALTAR CLOTH with Red Lobsters



This distinctive fabric dating from the early twentieth century would originally have been used to decorate a Buddhist altar or other furniture.

The curled lobster that adorn it are considered very auspicious in Japanese culture.

The blend of deep pine green and lustrous red make this item an especially desirable item for unique Christmas decorating, while the reverse side features an ivory damask floral design that's beautiful year-round.
