《Yuzen Dyeing》
Yuzen dyeing, which gained popularity during the Edo period, allows for vivid and bold expressions through its development. At the same time, the fine lines created by artisans using thin metal tools enable detailed pattern expression.Mr. Ishiyama, who ventured into the world of Yuzen dyeing alone at the age of 20, has continued in this craft for over half a century.
Even today, when mass production by machines is mainstream, he carefully dyes each piece with his soul.The color appearance of Yuzen dyeing varies depending on the temperature and humidity of the day. No two pieces are exactly the same. We deliver a one-of-a-kind, unique work.
《Design Commitment》
At first glance, the modern design seems far removed from "Japanese traditional crafts."This is the "reverence for life" and "expression of the soul" that Mr. Ishiyama, who has continued to face traditional crafts born from nature, has arrived at.It takes 5 to 6 years to complete a single design. The powerful life force he has felt and experienced through his intense life is reflected in each meticulously refined motif.Within the fleeting moments of birth and disappearance, and in the breath of nature, Mr. Ishiyama’s soul is engraved in this chaotic world where he continues to question his own existence, blending the spirit of self and tradition.
《Bodhi Tree Seed》
Hidden behind the leaves, the Bodhi tree seed seems to be waiting for its turn to appear.This design of the Bodhi seed embodies hope for the future.What Mr. Ishiyama values most is "vitality."This mysterious shape is the form the Bodhi tree discovered to help its seeds travel farther.This shape, born from the plant’s desperate effort to survive and not let life end, conveys the immense power of life to us.
