Joyful Weaving with @1000wave and Her Grandmother

To see more photos from Chinami’s multicolored world featuring her grandmother, follow @1000wave on Instagram.

(This interview was conducted in Japanese.)

Chinami Mori’s (@1000wave) 93-year-old grandmother Emiko is regularly photographed in a burst of color, looking as happy as a clam, while modeling her granddaughter’s bright weavings. Chinami embraces a Japanese freestyle weaving technique called Saori, which allows her to mix and match colored yarn, string and fabric. “There are no rules,” explains the Japanese artist. “I can weave as freely and as colorfully as I want.” And no one wears — or personifies — her work better than Emiko, who spends time at Chinami’s workplace almost every day. “She’s my favorite person in the whole world,” says Chinami. “I make grandma happy, and that’s just so much fun for me, too.”
