YANAGI,Shinya.
Tsumugi Weaving

Continuing on his family traditions of weaving,
Yanagi skillfully balances the traditional techniques and a contemporary sense of style.

Shinya Yanagi has comes from a well known lineage of great craftspeople and thinkers. He is the great grand nephew of Yanagi Muneyoshi (Soetsu), the father of the folk-art movement, and his own father, Yanagi Sou, was a renowned weaver.
After studying interior design and working for an architectural firm, Yanagi Shinya entered the "Yanagi Dyeing and Weaving Studio," ran by his father, the second-generation owner, and began her career in dyeing and weaving.

After two years learning the ins and outs of weaving and dyeing, he exhibited work under his own name at the Japanese Folk Art Exhibition.

In 2019, he received the Japan Folk Art Exhibition Encouragement Prize, and in 2021, he became independent.
Mingei is "the energy of handcraft," he says. While the creation of thread and the weaving of fabric is in his DNA, he stands out with his truly contemporary sensibilities which result in incredibly fresh work.
