Five Sandals Sakiori Wall Hanging

Handwoven using reclaimed kimono fabrics, this whimsical sakiori wall hanging celebrates the beauty of well-loved objects and the memories they carry. Five pairs of tiny woven sandals are worked directly into the tapestry—each one woven as part of the textile itself rather than being appliquéd afterward. The result is a wonderfully detailed piece that invites a closer look.

The artist begins by washing, dyeing, tearing, and weaving vintage cotton kimono and furoshiki fabrics into narrow strips. This traditional Japanese technique, known as sakiori, transforms worn textiles into richly textured weavings with remarkable depth and character. Bamboo rods, hand-tied tassels, and small glass bead accents complete the piece, making it ready to display.

Whether hung in a sewing room, entryway, or cozy corner of your home, this one-of-a-kind tapestry is a celebration of craftsmanship, sustainability, and the enduring beauty of reused textiles.
