Shuri Ori (or Shuri Hana Ori) textiles originated in the old capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shuri, on Okinawa Island, Japan. I weave Shuri Ori as a means of preserving my family weaving heritage…
As i weave this ancient weave structure, i treasure each thread just as i treasure my ancestors…
I treasure each thread as i weave it so that the fabric gets filled with my feeling…
