Simple stripes resembling the lines of a notebook are given a traditional twist. Yoroke-ori, a weaving technique meaning “staggered weave”, produces a pattern that sways and undulates with the varying density of the warp (longitudinal) threads. A delicate design with the unique mark of a woven textile.
