This beautiful shawl was created by Nobuko Tsuruta, a major japanese fiber artist based in NYC, who is heavily inspired by SAORI weaving. For eight years after college, Nobu worked in the fashion industry and after moving to New York with her husband, himself a talented interior architectural designer. When her son turned five, they attended a SAORI weaving workshop, sparking her interest in fiber arts. She began training regularly at Yukako Satone’s SAORI Studio uptown and soon began to develop her own style, and has since exhibited her work around the world.

A soft shawl in earthy pinks, browns and reds, with fringe dangling on either side.
