For First-Time Visitors
yamamayu textiles emerge through layered time — from cocoon to thread, dyeing, and weaving.
We invite you to begin with the story of the studio and the making behind the cloth, and then continue to the works available online.
If you begin with the background and materials first, the textiles themselves may begin to feel a little deeper.
