Length by Toshio Matsubara. The image shows a long, rectangular piece of fabric. The fabric is white with a repeating pattern of blue designs. The designs are made up of lines that radiate from a central point, with leaves and flowers at the center of each design. The lines are thin and black, and they extend outwards from the center in a circular pattern. The leaves and flowers are blue and have a detailed appearance. The fabric appears to be made of a thin material, possibly silk or cotton. The bottom edge of the fabric is frayed. The background behind the fabric is light gray. There is a small white label on the bottom-right corner of the fabric. The label has black text that reads 163.7.00.
