The roots of “Sakiori”,  it is said to be located in the Tohoku region, where cotton and textile products were valuable due to the cold climate. 

At that time, people tore the fabrics they used for clothing and bedding into thin fibers and twisted them together to weave and make again other textile products.

In the Edo period, when ships called “Kitamae ship” began arriving, they brought old cloth cotton from the Kinki region, around Osaka or Kyoto, began to arrive. The soft feel of cotton attracted many people, but even though it was an old cloth, it was not cheap.

For this reason, the “Sakiori”developed in a culture of using up textiles as valuable items.

In Japan, old cloth is made into textiles and used for other clothes and rugs, and when it becomes too tattered to be used anymore, it is used as fuel for fires, and the burnt ashes are scattered in fields and used for soil improvement. 

”Sakiori” is a sustainable textile that has been passed down since ancient times.

Most of ”Sakiori” process is done by hand.

The ”Sakiori”fabrics,   they are torn into thin strips to create weft threads, then thread the warp threads through the loom one step at a time to carefully weave.

It's more than just a job.

Through human hands, the feeling of loving things is also woven into the  ”Sakiori”fabrics.

Therefore, ”Sakiori”fabrics can create a warm and unique texture that cannot be expressed by machines.

Saccora Share Global's ”Sakiori”fabrics were woven by creators of the nearby facility for people with disabilities, “Saccora Japan''.
