What is Hakata ori?
Hakata ori is said to have a deep history of over 770 years. By strongly driving the weft threads into the many warp threads, a fabric with both thickness and tension is woven. When classified in detail, it can be divided into types of weaving such as “Hirachi”, “Kamichi”, “Saga Nishiki”, “Futsu”, “Sha”, “Coarse”, and “Honbukuro”. A characteristic pattern is expressed by combining them.
In particular, the kenjo pattern was originally a unique pattern with a motif of Buddhist altar fittings.
