    Thought this was pretty so I picked it up for a few bucks. Can anyone tell me where it's from or if it has any age to it? The frame / mat is obviously new(last 20 years or so). The fabric part(without frame) measures about 21" by 4" Thanks again!

    If I were taking a wild guess, I'd say 50s craft kit as done by some housewife and framed later. It might be real Japanese and fooling me, but these designs were popular in the mid-50s to mid 60s.
