This unique brocade called "Saga Nishiki" is a classic hand-woven fabric.Japanese paper which is specially coated with gold silver or laqueur is used as the warp,and interlacing is with dyed silk thread.As drugery and sophisticated techniques are required,only several inches are produced each day.Although these fabrics are mostly manufactured into useful small articles like bags etc.Sometimes we can find big items like a Kimono belt.This gorgious and ellegant fabric has been evaluated as a Japanese work of art.
