Handwoven Sakiori - Ambiguous Memories

Handwoven in Japan using reclaimed kimono fabrics, this sakiori textile brings new life to old cloth. Sakiori is Japan’s rag-weaving tradition—similar to American rag rugs but created at a much finer scale—where worn kimono fabrics are washed, torn, and rewoven into richly textured panels.

This piece combines cotton, silk, and wool kimono fabrics with cotton slub yarn in the warp, creating a soft, multicolored mosaic. Use it as a lightweight scarf, a table runner, or a unique wall hanging. Its shifting tones and textures lend themselves beautifully to many roles in the home.

Because these fabrics originate from different garments and dye lots, expect subtle irregularities, soft transitions of color, and quiet changes in texture—hallmarks of true sakiori work.
