Against it, two of Japan's most classical motifs are rendered in precision kasuri weave: the floating ume plum blossom in muted slate blue, counterbalanced by the geometric asanoha hemp leaf pattern in cream and olive-gold. Kasuri requires individual threads to be resist-dyed before weaving, then aligned by hand so the pattern forms precisely as the loom works. The bengara gives the composition its warmth. The kasuri gives it its precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA runner for a table in a room of clay and slate, the plum blossom keeping the rust red from ever being heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe runner is lined in undyed silk to protect the face.
