Description: Japanese Uchishiki Embroidered Buddhist Altar Tablecloth This is a vintage Japanese Buddhist altar tablecloth, or uchishiki. Made of silk, the backside has a white chrysanthemum and paulownia floral design. The main part is largely gold with small chrysanthemums and large peonies in red, teal, and coral colors.
