Textiles

Warp and weft, woven into a wondrous wash of hues, express an ephemeral elegance

Japan's traditional textiles evolved regionally, giving rise to a variety of weaving techniques. To this day, hand-weaving remains a valued traditional craft, despite the convenience of mechanization methods. Under the guidance of an experienced textile artisan, experience weaving an authentic traditional loom. Thread by thread, express your innermost inspiration to create a one-of-a-kind color pattern. Expressing yourself with your choice of thread is one of the joys of the experience. Take home your handiwork as a gift for a loved one, or a keepsake all to yourself.
