Futonji is the outer shell of a futon quilt, without the batting. This piece is the front panel.
The five treasures depicted are the hat of invisibility, the mallet that grants all wishes, cloves (the four-lozenge circle), the angel wings, and houju which represents all the desires of mankind.
Decent condition, several holes lovingly patched from the back as the photos indicate, commensurate with years of use. Medium weight 100% cotton, handwoven. 54" wide and 49" tall. Four panels. Roughly 150 years old.
Various shades of indigo blue, tsutsugaki rice paste resist.
Some lint on the back remaining from the time the cotton batting was removed.
