紵絲斗帳
One of the treasures of Menuma Shodenzan Temple is a length of ramie textile woven with mandarin ducks and clouds in red thread on a dark blue background. It was made in China during the Jiajing era (1522–1566) of the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). The cloth measures 147 x 170 centimeters and includes a border inscribed with the fabric’s provenance.
The cloth is believed to have been dedicated to the temple by Narita Nagayasu (1495–1574). The Narita family were based in the Kumagaya area and were patrons of the temple, helping to finance reconstruction work on the main hall in 1552.
The cloth is a Designated Cultural Property of Saitama Prefecture and is on display at the Saitama Prefectural Museum of History and Folklore, in Omiya, Saitama Prefecture.
