We look at Okinawa Prefecture through its stunning textiles. The island chain is a treasure trove of "somemono" (thread-dyed cloth) and "orimono" (piece-dyed cloth). The subtropical climate nurtures diverse plants, offering an abundance of fibers and natural dyes. Okinawa was a maritime trading hub in Asia for hundreds of years, ushering in sophisticated culture and advanced techniques, which in turn nurtured distinctive fabric styles. In this episode of Journeys in Japan, we discover this cultural legacy.
