I would be surprised if this was 'cloth'. I may be fine silk, but a cotton (for example) cloth would be too heavy to mount into a scroll.

The Japanese have a long history of resist dying, both for fabric and for paper. It is called Katazome (型染め) and had been practiced in Japan since the 7th century.
