A studio specializing in Akō-dantsu rugs, run by Rie Sakaue, who was born in Kobe in 1983. After graduating from International Christian University, she worked in fashion and regional industry promotion before encountering Akō-dantsu weaving and training under Setsuko Nekome. She established her independent studio, Koubou Rokugatsu, in Akō-misaki, Hyogo Prefecture in 2019. Carrying on the tradition of Akō-dantsu — hand-woven cotton rugs dating back to the Edo period — she creates new works using indigo-dyed and plant-dyed threads, while also collecting and restoring antique pieces and undertaking conservation work for temples and museums.
