Kakishibu is fermented persimmon juice that unfolds over time. At once a waterproofing and strengthening agent, it is also a slow developing dyestuff moving from tan to rich brown over days and months of sun exposure. As it ages, a kakishibu textile reflects a deep patina of time and use.
The ondulé textiles have been woven using a RailReed, an adjustable denting system invented by Estonian textile artist Kadi Pajupuu.
