Japanese Ceremonial Silk Table Runner – The Verdant Shimmer, Stripe in Midori and Silver

Midori. The green that grows. Described in Japanese colour nomenclature as the green of new foliage and moss — woven here with silver kinginsha that reads as rain light on water.

The runner is drawn from a Japanese ceremonial silk obi — pure silk woven with silver metallic thread in a vertical stripe construction with chevron-formed geometric divisions. The Nishijin-ori technique integrates kinginsha thread without disrupting the drape, producing a surface that carries the fluid movement of pure silk and the reflective quality of woven silver. The midori gives the composition its life. The silver gives it its shimmer.

A runner that turns the daily table into something a little finer — quiet beauty for ordinary moments, gathered around a shared meal.

The runner is lined in undyed silk to protect the face. No metal touches the visible silk.
