Sakiori is a weaving technique that has existed since the middle of the Edo period and was born of the Japanese ethos of mottainai that abhors waste. After untying and re-dyeing discontinued kimonos, the cloth is torn into thin strips and woven into the weft, with polyester yarn mixed in for strength. It is a fabric that produces a unique appearance.
