These preprinted panels from Olympus Thread Mfg Co are called 'hana-fukin', literally meaning 'flower cloth.'  Each panel is supplied in 1 piece with a plain area the same size attached, because they are designed to be stitched through both layers and the edges then turned in to make a little cloth.  You can also stitch the printed layer separately and make them into a variety of other items such as bags, cushions, or quilt panels.  They are stunned as a framed piece as well.  This design is inspired by Japanese 'ukiyoe' wood block prints and depicts one of Hokusai's famous - 36 Views of Mt Fuji.
