2,450durom.2015.501
| durom.2015.501.3.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/2015 | Bolt of synthetic fabric, probably a polyester mix, with Japanese Kanji script printed on the bottom. The fabric is mostly white in colour with shades of lilac used to decorate the surface. The fabric has regular wave like diamond shapes running in the weave through the bolt. The images printed on the fabric depict a traditional Japanese house set into a natural scene by a riverside. In the surrounding garden are flowers, reeds in the water and chrysanthemums. Sporadically across the rest of the fabric are small hilly banks surrounded by flowers, leaves and chrysanthemums which are orange or peach in colour. The bolt is wrapped around a central card tube that provides the item with some stability. The first 3300mm section of the fabric has a plain white stripe running down the centre of the design. At the end of this is a strip of Japanese characters printed in purple on the white fabric and a small printed paper label stuck on. Then the fabric design restarts without the white stripe down the centre. There is a small plain white band at the inner end. There is a slight stretch to the fabric. | Bolt | bolt of silk | polyester | Showa Period | Japan (country) |

| durom.1979.12.16.1-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1979 | Four page letter from Dr Mary Prouse Gell address 13 Kan Mien Hutung, East City, Peking, to her Aunt Ann. Letter dated April 3rd 1925. Mary Gell writes about having to go shopping, and people coming over for lunch, which is why she is writing the letter a day earlier than usual. She thanks her aunt for having written so often and how she would like to join her Maux class, and that the Chinese men remind her of Maux, due to the pitch of the voices in conservation when at a distance. She writes about T.E.B's poem, about his childhood and how the Chinese have the gift of seeing through party politics. Mary Gell writes about last Sunday and about the jolly time that she had, as the old Bishop to the service at St Faith's and that a Miss Mary Scott really enjoyed it. She also mentions how worried she is about starting the hospital up without the bishop to be responsible to. She also writes about meeting a Miss Dilton, whose mother both she Aunt Ann and Joyce had meet in London. She also went to a 'shantung party' which she really enjoyed, and describes how she has now become skilled with her chopsticks something Miss Dilton could not understand as she was too English. . | Letter | null | paper | null | Beijing |

| durom.1979.12.16.1-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1979 | Four page letter from Dr Mary Prouse Gell address 13 Kan Mien Hutung, East City, Peking, to her Aunt Ann. Letter dated April 3rd 1925. Mary Gell writes about having to go shopping, and people coming over for lunch, which is why she is writing the letter a day earlier than usual. She thanks her aunt for having written so often and how she would like to join her Maux class, and that the Chinese men remind her of Maux, due to the pitch of the voices in conservation when at a distance. She writes about T.E.B's poem, about his childhood and how the Chinese have the gift of seeing through party politics. Mary Gell writes about last Sunday and about the jolly time that she had, as the old Bishop to the service at St Faith's and that a Miss Mary Scott really enjoyed it. She also mentions how worried she is about starting the hospital up without the bishop to be responsible to. She also writes about meeting a Miss Dilton, whose mother both she Aunt Ann and Joyce had meet in London. She also went to a 'shantung party' which she really enjoyed, and describes how she has now become skilled with her chopsticks something Miss Dilton could not understand as she was too English. . | Letter | null | paper | null | Beijing |
