Bringing "Yuzen-zome," a traditional Japanese craft dating back to the Edo period, into your daily life.
Yuzen-zome gained immense popularity during the Edo period. Its development enabled vibrant and bold expressions, while the skill of artisans—who use fine metal tips to draw lines of constant thickness—made meticulous pattern expression possible.Mr. Ishiyama threw himself into the world of Yuzen-zome alone at the age of 20 and has continued on that path for over half a century.
Even now, in an era where mass production by machinery is the mainstream, this is one of the works he continues to dye carefully, one by one, pouring his soul into each piece.In Yuzen-zome, the way colors appear changes depending on the temperature and humidity of the day. No two pieces are the same. We deliver a one-of-a-kind work of art.
The fabric used for this work is 100% silk, providing a pleasant texture that feels natural in your hands.Because it is something you use every day, choose high-quality, "authentic" craftsmanship.
As a gift for a loved one.As a reward for yourself.
**《Design Philosophy》**
At first glance, the modern design may seem far removed from "traditional Japanese craft."This is precisely the "reverence for life" and "expression of the soul" reached by the artist, Mr. Ishiyama, who has spent his life facing traditional crafts born within nature.It takes five to six years to complete a single design. Each motif is refined to the ultimate degree to express the strength of life that he has felt and experienced throughout his intense life.Carved into the work is the soul of Mr. Ishiyama, who has continuously questioned his own existence within a chaotic world—one where the spirit of the self and tradition merge amidst the breathing of the natural world and the fleeting moments of birth and disappearance.
