It is one silk. The seams are in the loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Japanese ceremonial silk bed runner set, runner and cushions cut from one obi at the Renaras atelier in Amsterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYosegire — cloth pieced from gathered fragments — began as thrift and became a taste of its own. Here the piecing is woven rather than sewn: panels of unrelated pattern, floral scroll, key-fret, dotted ground and fields of small blossom, butted together in rust, gold, teal, lilac and ochre, each panel carrying its own weight of thread, metallic in some and matte in others. Nothing repeats along the length. The reverse is patterned too, so the runner can be turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenaras designs and reimagines existing Japanese ceremonial silk into contemporary pieces for daily life — this is our mottainai: the bringing of new imagination into a living tradition. Woven once for ceremony, the obi was cut at our Amsterdam atelier into a runner for the foot of the bed, 220 cm of it, falling over both sides of a 160 or 180 cm mattress, with four cushions for the head: two in the patchwork, two in plain gold silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe runner is finished to show both faces; each cushion closes with an envelope pocket, and no metal touches the silk anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set arrives with the Renaras Passport, a small handmade record of the silk's first life and its transformation, signed and dated in Amsterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBed runner set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSilk source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapanese ceremonial silk, obi, patterned on both faces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotif\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYosegire, woven patchwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRust, gold, teal, lilac, cream and ochre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeave \/ technique\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplementary-weft brocade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRunner backed in plain silk; cushion covers with envelope closure; no metal touches the silk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRunner 220 × 31 cm; Plain cushions two, 36 × 31 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOrigin of silk\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembled in\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmsterdam, Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpot clean only; keep out of direct sunlight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUnrepeatable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eREN-BED-012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne silk.
