About the Item
This hand-carved wooden kimono sculpture is a contemporary piece of art made by award-winning artist Toru Kaizawa. Entitled “Hagi”, this piece was created in collaboration with SoShiro gallery for the Ainu collection. It celebrates the artistry of the indigenous Ainu people of the Japanese archipelago and their sacred relationship to forests and nature.
Hagi, who was Kaizawa’s grandmother, designed, embroidered, and wore the original kimono this artwork is based on, highlighting both a visual, cultural, and personal history for the artist. Atni wood, an indigenous elm from the Nibutani region in Hokkaido, is carved with traditional techniques passed through the Kaizawa family. Notable details include the “fish scale” carving on the hands and feet, adding texture to the traditional clothing items such as the tekunpe hand coverings, and the chain-like belt, called a ‘tumus’, which is made from one single piece of wood.
Through their collaboration, Toru Kaizawa and SoShiro found that creating or owning a piece of design can help preserve centuries-old craft traditions. This wooden kimono can be made as a bespoke commission.
