Shuri Weaving Experience: Mat/Mat and Bookmark (60 minutes)

In the 14th to 15th centuries (about 500 years ago), the Ryukyu Kingdom engaged in active trade with Southeast Asia and China.
The techniques learned from these imported goods were passed down from person to person over centuries, fostering the unique characteristics of Ryukyu textiles that have been nurtured by Okinawa's climate and natural features and preserved to this day.

Schedule

STEP 1:
Alternate stepping on the two pedals at your feet to weave the horizontal threads.

STEP 2:
Use the flower heddle to create patterns. Both hands and feet will be busy! Repeat Step 1's actions. Once you get into the rhythm, you will experience the joy of weaving! Watching the thread gradually turn into fabric is truly fascinating and fun!

STEP 3:
Completion! Before you know it, your piece is finished!

It may seem difficult at first, but as you get used to it, you will find yourself enjoying the rhythm of weaving.
※ For the book cover, final hand-stitching will be needed at home.

This is an elegant Shuri weaving experience, reminiscent of the textiles woven for the nobility during the Ryukyu Kingdom era.
