Japanese antique Sakiori Art Runner All-Silk (154x22cm) - Multi-Use Japanese Textile Art(b-57)

Vivid All-Silk Sakiori Art Textile (Estimated 100 Years Old)

This exquisite Vintage Japanese Sakiori (rag weaving) piece, estimated to be approximately 100 years old, is a testament to sustainable luxury. It is crafted entirely from 100% silk, giving the textile a luxurious sheen and smooth hand-feel that distinguishes it from typical cotton weaving.

The Art of Sakiori: Sakiori is a revered traditional technique in which worn-out strips of fabric are torn into thin threads (saki-ori) and painstakingly re-woven, creating a durable and visually dynamic new textile. The process is a profound expression of mottainai (the philosophy of avoiding waste), elevating recycled materials into true folk art.

Striking Color Contrast and Versatility: The color palette is immediately captivating, featuring a beautiful and sophisticated contrast of vivid red, warm yellow, and deep black threads. This striking combination is rare in Sakiori and provides a bold artistic statement. Its long, narrow dimension makes it highly versatile:

• Table Runner / Bed Runner: Adds an instant artistic focal point to furniture.

• Textile Art: Perfect for display as a wall hanging.

• Obi (Kimono Sash): Can be used as a unique, ready-made sash or repurposed into a stunning belt.

The quality of the silk and the density of the weave ensure this textile remains a durable and beautiful piece of history.
