The cloth
Washi, washi-silk, and other exceptional Japanese fabric — where it comes from and why it's special.
A few years ago I fell for Japanese cloth — washipaper yarn, woven with silk. Fabric that's cool through the summer, softens with every wash, and ages beautifully. I'm a software developer in Eiheiji, Japan, and while the world races toward AI, I'm going the other way: making premium home textiles — beginning with the bed you sleep in — from the most exceptional Japanese cloth I can find. Come watch me build it.
