‘Sakiori’ is a woven fabric that is produced from worn out cloth and garments torn thinly and then woven tightly into clothing and other products for daily use. Sakiori is woven with warps of cotton and wefts of thin worn out cloth. These fabrics are durable and warm, turning softer in texture with use.During the Edo Era, cultivation and availability of cotton was hard due to the cold climate in the Nanbu region in eastern Aomori. Therefore, cherished cloth was re-used as materials for weaving Kotatsu-gake or warm blankets, warm working clothes, Obi for Kimono, and so forth. Such work constituted manual labour for women during slack seasons on the farm.
