He is repairing an old rug, damaged rug to prevent further deterioration. The damage might have been caused by the rug being kept in a humid environment. Since the fibers of these rugs are entirely natural, such conditions are ideal for insects. Repairing the rug to its original state is a difficult and time-consuming process, as sharp tools like needles must be used throughout.

I remember when I was learning rug repair in university. One day, my classmate, who was sitting across from me, accidentally struck my forehead with their needle. Thankfully, it wasn’t a serious incident.

This is why rug repair is considered an art—because the repairer dedicates themselves to bringing the rug back to its original condition.
