Taiwan is home to a vibrant mosaic of Indigenous cultures. Among them, the Siraya people live in the soft hills and open plains around Tainan, in the island’s warm south.



More than decoration, their hand-stitched symbols speak of life and land —
carrying the rhythm of daily living, the wisdom of ancestors, and the quiet bond with nature, all gently woven into form.

 

 

At *KYOKU HAKU, we bring new life to these fading symbols — reimagined through modern design and fine machine embroidery. Each piece in this collection begins with Siraya motifs, then flows into a quiet, contemporary form that still holds the spirit of the past.

2025 Siraya Collection — ReStitch 

 

When Decorative Tiles Bloom, Stitched Memories Return — Beginning Again with Siraya Culture


Our design grows from visits to Kabuasua, a quiet village in Tainan, Taiwan.
Old home tiles inspire us to blend Siraya eight-petal stitches with simple geometric patterns. We turn these into cross-stitch images, letting cultural memory bloom in cloth. Clean lines hold the land’s story and the tribe’s heart. Cross-stitch becomes a bridge between culture and daily writing.

 

2025 Siraya Collection — Memories

Memories Radiating from Rippling Waters— Woven from the spirit of Siraya women,embodying legacy and care.
Made by kyoku haku’s all-female team, this notebook jacket* is a modern expression of Siraya women’s spirit — a gentle yet strong way to write.
Drawing from field studies in Tainan’s Jibeisha Tribe, it takes the image of water from Siraya culture.

Ripples spreading outward carry the strength of women protecting family and culture; lines interwoven carry the unfolding of blood and memory.

On its cover, eco-friendly recycled oyster-shell yarn weaves nature’s cycle into the fabric.

 

2025 Siraya Collection — Belief


From Ritual Bottles — A Quiet Dialogue with Alimu

Rooted in fieldwork with Tainan’s Kabusua Tribe, this design draws from the Siraya people’s water-based faith. Ritual bottles — vessels for speaking with Alimu — carry quiet reverence for nature and the unseen.

The bottle’s image is reimagined in raised embroidery, forming a flowing square totem. Wave patterns echo the movement of water — a rhythm of renewal, connection, and life passed on. This design reflects the spirit of Siraya rituals — a gentle strength, shaped by faith, shared through generations.

 

At kyoku haku, we reimagine these motifs with modern design and fine machine embroidery. Each pattern begins with Siraya heritage, then flows into a new visual language.Thread by thread, we invite you to explore the quiet traces of Taiwan’s living cultural memory.
