“Giant” needles crafted from woven split bamboo stand as quiet monuments. They honor the women who once played a central role in the region’s small-scale silk production. Thread by thread, they wove more than fabric—they wove lasting connections between people, nature, and culture. The sculptures speak to their intimate knowledge of natural resources and sustainable practices. The surface is partly clad in fragments of old textiles, donated by the people of Nakanojo, adding layers of memory and local identity.
