SAKIORI," which values things and makes the best use of old fabrics
Nanbu SAKIORI is a weaving technique in which used cloth is torn into thin strips and woven into new clothing and daily necessities. The warp is made of hemp, and the weft (weft) is woven from the torn cloth. During the Edo period (1603-1867), in the harsh climate of the Nanbu region, where cotton was hard to obtain due to the cold climate, the wisdom of weaving warm cloth by tearing old cloth was nurtured.

BIG Nanbu SAKIORI
The size of the tapestry was 32 tatami mats.
This large tapestry was made by ripping old cloth into weft threads and weaving them into cotton warp threads by the visitors' hands.
The tapestry was completed after an enormous amount of work, including tearing old cloth to make "nuki" balls for the weft threads, changing the color of the warp threads so that the plaid pattern would stand out, and composing and joining the woven cloth together.
Nanbu SAKIORI, which makes use of old cloth, is filled with the ecological spirit of taking good care of things.
