Title: Jyugoya (Heian Court Ladies Viewing a Full Moon)
Size: 17 inches wide by 51 inches high including tabs. Ready to hang--natural bamboo rod included.
Description: Court Lady's robes in shades of purple, red, aqua and pink with black outlining. Front screen in gray-green. Natural tan suede-look border.
History: August 15th is set aside for Jyugoya or autumn moon viewing. This custom is said to have probably started sometime during the early Jomon era. During the Heian era, the nobility would hold a party where they would take boats out on a lake in order to appreciate the moon's reflection off the surface of the water and then compose poems about the event.
Our scroll size wall Hangings (long and narrow) are made from printed 100% cotton fabric panels, tenugui (printed cotton 'towels') or a noren (doorway curtain). They are machine quilted, hand-guided, using two layers of low loft polyester batting to provide added depth and dimension. Sizes listed under each item are approximate. For the width, the panel size itself is measured not the rod (which extends an inch or so past the panel on each side)--and the length is measured from the top of the tabs to the bottom of the panel.
