A Sakiori Sodenashi: A Timeless Craft

Experience the rich tradition of Japanese weaving with our exquisite Sakiori Sodenashi vest. Crafted with meticulous care in the mid-20th century, this garment is a testament to the enduring beauty of rag weaving. The Sakiori technique, a blend of the verbs to tear and to weave, brings to life the strategic tearing of recycled cotton strips to create a unique weave.

Unveiling the Artisanal Details

Measuring 23" x 13 1/2" (58.5 cm x 34 cm), this vest is not just a piece of clothing but a work of art. The colored rags, likely from commercially produced cottons, provide a spectrum of restrained colors that are beautifully offset by the black cotton warp yarns. Each side features hand-stitched tabs made from recycled kasuri cotton, adding to the garment's authenticity and functionality. Despite minor abrasions, the overall condition is excellent, reflecting its well-used history.

Practicality Meets Tradition

The Sakiori Sodenashi is more than just a fashion statement; it is a practical choice for daily life. Ideal for those who require good padding while carrying burdens or loads, this vest offers freedom of movement for the arms, thanks to the cleverly designed tabs that connect the front and back areas. This garment is a clear reminder of daily life in old Japan, perfect for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the fusion of art and utility. Very recommended for those seeking a unique piece that transcends time.
