What is Hakata-ori?

The kenjō (献上) pattern

The tribute silk once sent to the Tokugawa shogun. Geometry, not ornament.

Dokkō (独鈷) & Hanazara (華皿)

A Buddhist implement to dispel chaos, and a dish that holds the sacred — the figures woven into the cloth.

Kinunari (絹鳴り)

The faint, crisp whisper of genuine silk against silk. You hear Hakata-ori before you feel it.
