| Description | Raincoat. Collected in Japan and made of palm fiber. Such coats were often worn by field workers and fishermen during the rainy season. Raincoats of a similar design can be found throughout Asia including southern China, Taiwan and the Philippines. The coat is folded and then layered so that the fibers criss-cross. The layered pieces are then stitched together. |
