Yamagata Dantsu rugs were created by masters of the craft of weaving, invited from China to develop a rug that fit the Japanese home practice of always removing shoes indoors. Our shopkeeper KASHIYUKA, on visiting the schoolhouse-like studio where they’re made, remarked, “The color gradation is exceptionally beautiful, and the cherry blossoms seem to stand out in relief.”
Purchase No. 24 Yamagata Dantsu Rug A hand-dyed, hand-woven floor covering befitting the Japanese lifestyle.
With the artisan in charge of mixing thread colors.
Lengths of dyed thread are woven into the warp of the fabric and cut; their density controlled with a comb-like hand tool. Only a few centimeters can be produced in a day.
