We found these items on Japanese marketplace, Iichi. They are a marketplace for handicrafts and small-scale manufacturing. This particular shop, Joki, sells hand-woven cloth that has been firmly woven using the traditional weaving method called overshot. The creator Miyoko Kirigaya sells her wares under the brand name, Joki, a Finnish word for river. The artisan graduated from Joshibi University of Art and Design and was a textile designer for seven years before raising her children.
More of her work can be found on her website and on Instagram. Her products are sold here in Iichi.
