Hakata-ori is a traditional Japanese textile that has been produced in Fukuoka Prefecture for more than 770 years.
Hakata Ori uses a lot of thin warp yarns, slams thick weft yarns with a read, and mainly weaves the pattern by floating the warp yarns. The Kenjo Hakata pattern by Hakata Ori is highly valued and was given as a gift to the Tokugawa shogunate. This pattern is considerd as the symbol of health, purification, prosperity and dignity.
