Tapestry

Japanese: タピスリー
Tapestry
A woven fabric with a pictorial design, mainly used as a wall hanging. Tapestry is French for tapestry. It is similar to tapestry in structure, with cotton or linen threads as the warp and dyed twisted wool (silk, gold, silver, etc.) threads as the weft, and is hand-woven with wooden needles. It reached its peak in the 13th and 14th centuries in northern France and Flanders, where it decorated the walls of churches and castles and became a symbol of wealth. From around the 15th century, sketches by famous artists began to be used, and in the 17th century, French Gobelins textiles became the norm.
