A stunning piece of Japan’s textile heritage, this Oshima Tsumugi patchwork blends traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. This block is crafted with upcycled silk fabric, the remnants of a home decor workshop. The pieces are arranged in a striking pineapple-style pattern around a vibrant red five-sided center. Each piece is a mix of deep browns and blacks that are signature colors of Oshima Tsumugi. What Makes Oshima Tsumugi Special? Oshima Tsumugi is a revered handwoven silk textile from Amami-Oshima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture. The fabric is known for its intricate kasuri patterns, achieved through resist-dyeing the threads in a traditional mud-dyeing process before weaving them into fabric. The colors are deep and rich, and the texture is a luxuriously smooth feel unique to Tsumugi silk.
