This is a hand-woven Gabbeh from the Ghazni region of Afghanistan. Hand-spun wool dyed with natural plants is meticulously woven knot by knot. The gentle grayish-blue, unique to natural dyes, subtly changes its expression depending on the light, creating a depth that evokes skies, stones, and distant mountain ranges.

Ghazni is a region where nomadic culture has thrived since ancient times. Gabbeh originally originated as a practical item to support family life in nomadic settings. Laid on the floor and sometimes used as bedding, it also served as protection from the cold. Therefore, durability and warmth are highly valued.

The animals and geometric patterns depicted on this rug reflect the weaver's memories and wishes. They contain prayers for family happiness, prosperity of livestock, and peaceful days. The unrefined, rustic lines, conversely, bring a sense of peace to the heart.

The size is 156×96cm, a perfect size for a living room, beside a dining area, or in front of a sofa. The grayish-blue is not overly assertive and blends naturally with wooden floors, white walls, and Japanese-style spaces.
