Shuri ori

The various woven textiles of Shuri

Shuri, which thrived as the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, was strongly influenced by Southeast Asia and China around the 15th century – making it home to a unique weaving tradition expressed through kasuri, hanaori, rōton ori, hanakura ori and minsā among others. Shuri ori is prized for its design which embodies an air of royal refinement and produces a gentle feeling on the skin thanks to its handweaving process.
