Sakabukuro Ceremonial Cloth
This ceremonial cloth once lived a different life as a Sakabukuro — a traditional Japanese filtration bag used to press fermented rice in the making of sake. Aged between 50 and 60 years, these antique textiles carry a rich history, their fibers imbued with time and purpose.
Its warm, earthy brown hue comes from natural kakishibu — a dye derived from fermented persimmon fruit. Dyed many moons ago, the cloth has gracefully aged, developing a patina unique to its journey.
Hand-stitched in the spirit of wabi-sabi, this one-of-a-kind piece embodies the beauty of imperfection and the passage of time. The stitching has been done using antique hemp thread from Ukraine, further enriching its story with another layer of heritage and craftsmanship.
Whether used as a chabu for tea ceremony, an altar cloth, or a grounding element in your home, it brings a quiet reverence to any sacred space.
Please be mindful that each cloth has its own individual charm so there will differences in colour variation and handstitching.
The cloth quality and hand feel is similar to canvas and measures approximately 85cm x 30cm.
