Prayer Banners

The first Japanese gardens were simple clearings in the woods, spread with white sand and marked with only a rice fiber rope. Our Silk banners were inspired by this deep appreciation of nature and the geomantic laws of Feng Shui.

Each banner is handmade of silk noil, a protein fiber, hand-sewn and hand-screened. The banner is about 23 to 24 inches long and about 6 inches wide and is hung from a black nylon cord with a small brass bell, which will add an additional 5 to 7 inches to the length. The silk banner may be hung in your garden creating a quiet healing force.

If hung outdoors unprotected in your garden in time the banner will become 'earthtiqued'. If you decide to replace it you can cut out the bell and plant the silk banner returning it to the earth and, as it is organic, it will help fertilize your soil.
