This rare and beautiful textile is comprised of sakiori weaving in five panels on one side, and beautiful boro patchwork on the other. Either side could be displayed on a wall, or as a rug.
Sakiori is a traditional Japanese weaving technique where old textiles are torn into strips and rewoven to create new fabrics, with roots in the Edo period (1603-1868). Originating out of necessity among the poor who lacked new cloth, it was a practical way to make durable items like rugs, work clothes, and futon under-quilts, embodying the Japanese concept of "mottainai" (avoiding waste).
This piece is truly a work of art and not something you will come across every day.
Measures 57”×63”
100% cotton
