Kyoto Ramie Linen Skinny Hoso-Tapestry by Kyoto Rakushian: Plum Blossoms

This striking hand-dyed linen tapestry is from our Winter Series. It depicts plum blossoms at their peak. The time when night gradually passes and light finally appears is called “Akariji.” This combination of morning sun and plum blossoms represents the realization of hope.

These skinny tapestries are made of natural-woven Ramie linen hand dyed in various Kyoto theme designs. They have a wooden rod at both ends with a string at the top and are weighted at the bottom to allow them to hang straight.

They measure 10 cm wide X 170 cm long and can be hung on a pillar or anywhere in the room. You can also combine several pieces together to make a lovely display for a particular season or theme.
