MEET THE ARTIST

Yukiko Yokoyama

Yukiko Yokoyama is one of Japan's leading contemporary hand weaving artists.

With a weaving experience spanning 50 years, Yokoyama founded her textile studio Dream Weaver (夢織りびと) in Japan in 1977 and has since opened classes in three cities, nurturing numerous students. As she explored through teaching, Yokoyama has been particularly captivated by the allure of yoroke-ori, and has developed her unique techniques one after another combining them with dyeing techniques. "Yoroke" is the weaving that is characterized by wave-like patterns created by altering the spacing of warp threads using specialized fan-shaped reeds, and Yokoyama is one of the few Yoroke weavers in the world.
