This exquisite Sakiori Kotatsugake is a testament to traditional Japanese craftsmanship, offering a unique blend of warmth and aesthetics. Hand woven from cotton yarns torn into narrow strips from rags, this blanket-weight textile is not only functional but also a work of art. The Sakiori technique, which involves using recycled materials, is a sustainable and eco-friendly practice that adds a layer of authenticity to this piece.

Product Features and Specifications

Measuring 55" x 51" (139 cm x 129.5 cm), this Kotatsugake is designed to be draped over a heated table or kotatsu, providing optimal warmth during cold winter months. Its fairly stiff texture traps heat effectively, making it ideal for family gatherings around the hearth. The color scheme, featuring pale blue and red with randomly placed colored weft areas, is simple yet attractive. Blue, white, and red cotton yarns are used as warp, adding to the rich texture and depth of the weave.

Practical Uses and Benefits

This Kotatsugake is versatile and can be used as a throw, a blanket, or an area rug. Its unbacked design allows for a natural, comfortable feel against the skin. Despite a few areas of minor loss to the rag weft, these are virtually invisible unless held directly against the light, ensuring the integrity of the piece. The Kotatsugake is a recommended addition to any home, offering both warmth and a sense of tradition. Its connection to a family's heritage adds a personal touch that is sure to be cherished for generations.
