Details that Highlight the Charm of Hand-Dyeing
The hand-dyed Japanese paper used for this tea caddy is an original Fuwa Market design. It is finished one by one by Yuzen Japanese paper dyeing artisans at a specialized factory in Kyoto.
Its charm lies in the deep colors and unique texture created by traditional techniques. Looking closely at the pattern, you can feel the delicate layering of colors unique to hand-dyeing.
The subtle variations in shade and bleeding enhance the handcrafted texture, creating a one-of-a-kind beauty.
Careful dyeing of each plate creates a depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with simple printing.
The finish, with attention to every detail, enhances the beauty of Japanese aesthetics. Each use allows you to feel the beautiful Japanese craftsmanship and the meaning of the traditional patterns.
Please experience the charm of this texture and warmth, born from the artisan's handwork.
The Wishes and Prayers Embodied in the Ichimatsu Pattern
Chic Ichimatsu, Traditional Beauty
When squares of alternating colors are tightly packed together, they appear to move with a gentle sway.
The Ichimatsu pattern seems to come alive as if imbued with life.
When the Kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu appeared stylishly and gracefully in white and navy costumes, women, in particular, eagerly adopted the fashion.
It became so popular that it was renamed Ichimatsu pattern, having previously been called Ishidatami (stone pavement) pattern.
Even today, it is widely loved by people of all ages, transcending generations, as seen in the green and black haori design of the protagonist in the manga "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba."
Available in two colors: a healing green and
a warm red. While the colors are subdued, they have individuality and are perfect for items that add color to your tea time.
*Please note that due to the cutting of large sheets of paper, the pattern placement may vary from item to item.
