Rip-weaving on a loom
- Activities Sightseeing
- Shimada
Create your original work with a rip-weaving experience using a loom!
In the past, in order to use up old fabrics, people tore old cloth into thin strips. They used the strips as woof to weave. It’s “Sakiori(rip-weaving technique)”.
Why not choose your favorite color and pattern of woof (cloth)? Let’s make a luncheon mat on a loom like those in old tales.
