It is with our profound sorrow that we inform you that Sayoko Eri, bearer of important
intangible cultural assets, passed away, still with full of aspiration and plans for future
creations, at 10:00 p.m. (Japan Time), October 3, 2007, while visiting in the city of
Amiens located in the northern part of France. She dedicated her life to the revival of
Kirikane and the quest for further potentiality of this unique delicate art. She lived her
