Chibana Hanaori

The raised pattern weaving of Chibana * "Ori" means weaving

Chibana hanaori was originally made in the village of Misato (today a part of Okinawa City) as clothing for festivals and formal occasions. Its production techniques and processes are thought to have been established by the late 19th century. While hanaori weaving usually features horizontal patterns, Chibana hanaori features patterns that are woven vertically.
