About SAORI™

Misao Jo (Founder of SAORI™ weaving)

" 'SA' of SAORI has the same meaning as the first syllable of the word 'SAI' which is found in Zen vocabulary.  It means everything has its own individual dignity.  And the "ORI" means weaving.

All flowers are beautiful, even though each individual flower is different in form and color.  Because of this difference, "all are good".  Because everything has the same life, life cannot be measured by a yardstick.  It is this individuality that makes everything meaningful and the uniqueness of each thread that creates the tapestry of life."
