[Saga Nishiki]
A style of brocading from Saga prefecture, Japan. It was invented by the wife of Kashima Nabeshima, the daimyo of Saga Domain.
Japanese paper coated in gold, silver or lacquer is used as the warp and the weft is dyed silk threads. Saga Nishiki has various woven patterns such as Ajiro(wickerwork-like pattern) and Saya(gossamer-figured pattern). It takes times to produce Saga Nishiki so only several inches are produced each day.
[Kara-ori (Chinese weaving)]
Kara-ori (or Kara-nishiki) is a technique of weaving textiles of Japanese kimono. The woven design of kara-ori stands out from the weft and looks similar to embroidery, creating a luxurious fabric. Kara-ori kimono is known as one of the most gorgeous kimono in the county and it is elaborate outfits worn by Noh performers in women roles.
