Akebia place mat
Based on the art of Japanese vernacular weaving, this woven vine would make perfect place mat for rustic talble, or simply beautiful as wall hanging.
Akebia quinata - also called Chocolate vine - is a semi-evergreen climbing shrub native to East Asia. It has been used for basketary weaving for hundreds of years in a similar way to willow, except Akebia is twining and much thinner.
The material used is all sustainably and responsibly foraged by the artist in the mountain area in Yamagata, Japan.
