Suiting fabric sample from Japan with different patterns woven into it: Black & white plaids; 2 square pieces cut out - near one end and in middle. Mixed fiber?
Probably manufactured in Japan for domestic use, or foreign sale? It is possible that this group of sample strips showing different patterns are the equivalent of western 'sample blankets" (showing pattern choices for customers), for men's kimono or household fabric 'sample blankets.'
Consular Collection: Part of collection of samples acquired by US Consuls overseas between about 1898 and 1918, in the interests of promoting US trade and business opportunities; which was transferred by the Dept. of Commerce in the 1920s-30s.
