This demo was gorgeous, I really didn’t know this existed before learning about it through the Nikkei Museum. The history and watching the process was fascinating.

The making of kami-ito (paper thread) and shifu (paper cloth) is a time honoured Japanese process which involves a deep appreciation for handwork. During this demo, Sabrina Sachiko Niebler (Sachi) will share about the history of this tradition and her journey of exploration with it. She will detail the process of turning washi into thread and then into cloth, through live demonstrations of paper thread making techniques. An informative and insightful look into an old world practice and how its quiet power can bring meaning, fortitude and inner connection through slow process.
