Proveniens
From the Collection of Ebba-Stina Kiku Gadelius (1916-2022), thence by descent.

Ebba was the third child of Knut Gadelius, she was born in Tokyo and grew up in Japan. She herself had a career as an artist and textile designer both in the USA and France and her design and art was strongly influcenced by her early years in Japan.
