Sakiori - Sakiori

Japanese: 裂織 - さきおり

Also known as kuzuori, this type of weaving is made by tearing old fabric into strips and weaving them on a hand loom. It is a type of waste material that allows a rich variety of colors to emerge by weaving in various fabrics. As it is a thick fabric, it is used for obi belts and rugs. It is unclear when it first began, but it was often made along the Sea of Japan, and is now beloved as one of the few remaining hand looms that make it a folk craft.

Japanese:

屑織ともいい，使い古した布地を細く裂いて手織機で織る織物。一種の廃物利用で，いろいろな布を織り込むことによって豊かな色彩が出現する。厚地の織物なので，帯や敷物などに利用される。始った時代ははっきりしないが，日本海沿いで多く行われたもので，現在では残っている数少い手織機による民芸品として愛好されている。
