This very special one-off handwoven wall hanging is made by kuzu yarn from a Japanese farm and hand spun linen from Slovenia. All yarns are hand dyed with dip dyes and ikat dyes using natural dyes.
One of the oldest handwoven fabrics in Japan is called “TAFU”, which is traditionally woven using Kouzo (paper mulberry), Fujizuru (wisteria vine), Kuzu (Japanese arrowroot), Cyoma (ramie), amongst others. These yarns are made by using fibres from the stem, under the hard external bark. The extraction requires a lot of processing and for this reason, TAFU almost disappeared in Japan.
The branch can be easily removed and replaced as the tapestry is not attached to it.

Emi's products are all hand-dyed with natural dyes. Compared to synthetic dyes, natural dyes tend to fade more quickly and may rub off on your clothes.
Please wash carefully by hand with cold water separately.
