About the Item
Six canvases (Diameter approx. 30cm, 25cm, 20cm) use the fabric taken from antique kimono, its' various parts, to create one harmonious fluid image of a snowflake - a symbol of new beginnings in Japan.
<< Period / Story >>
The kimono used for this canvas was created during the late Showa period (1960-80ies).
<< Explanation and meaning of pattern and colors >>
In Japanese tradition, the snowflake motif (雪華, sekka) carries deep cultural symbolism. It represents purity, transience, and the fleeting nature of life. Snowflakes, with their delicate structure and short-lived beauty, align with the concept of mono no aware (物の哀れ), the Japanese aesthetic appreciation of the ephemeral nature of things. This concept reveres beauty in its impermanence, reflecting the Buddhist-inspired idea that all things are transient.
Snowflake patterns in art, kimono, and textiles are particularly popular in winter designs, symbolizing peace, serenity, and clarity. The symmetry and delicacy of snowflakes also embody a sense of elegance and refinement, qualities often admired in Japanese art and aesthetics. In traditional kimonos, the snowflake motif can add a touch of seasonal beauty and evoke feelings of quiet winter landscapes, enhancing the garment's connection to nature and the changing seasons.
<< Characteristics of the fabric >>
Shibori is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique that involves folding, twisting, binding, or stitching fabric before dyeing to create intricate patterns. This resist-dyeing method results in unique, organic designs, often characterized by soft, blurred edges and beautiful contrasts, commonly seen in indigo-blue hues.
Snowflakes and small plum flower buds are created by shibori dyeing here.
