  • Japanese Kimono Art / Tapestry, Longevity
    Located in Shibuya City, Tokyo
    This orange silk-based obi is decorated with a tortoiseshell l pattern. The tortoiseshell pattern was handed down from China during the Asuka period in Japan. During the Heian period , only aristocrats were allowed to use the pattern, and the general public could not even see it. Therefore, the tortoiseshell pattern is known as a sacred and prestigious pattern. The tortoiseshell pattern is a regular hexagonal pattern, derived from the shell of a turtle. The regular hexagon is said to be the most stable shape in nature, which means ""sturdy and strong. Today, it is also said to be a pattern that brings good luck in money. The tortoiseshell pattern is decorated with pine trees, bamboo, plum blossoms, and flowers of the four seasons such as chrysanthemums, daffodils, autumn leaves, and peonies. In Japan, the pine, bamboo, and plum trees have been a traditional Japanese good-luck charm since around the Edo period Pine trees are as long as 200 to 400 years old, and some are thousands of years old.

  • Japanese Tapestry / Kimono Art -Rainbow Bamboo-
    Located in Shibuya City, Tokyo
    This one-of-a-kind work of art, using a traditional kimono obi, is a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship. On a black silk ground and silver foil base, a gorgeous bamboo is embroidered by gold and silver threads and colorful silks such as red, yellow, orange, and green. Bamboo is a symbol of "healthy growth" and "steadfast loyalty" as it grows straight, strong, and spreads lush green leaves even in the cold of winter. As described in "Taketori-Monogatari" (the oldest story in Japan), it has been believed since ancient times that spiritual power resides in the joints and knots of bamboo. Thus, bamboo has been long cherished as a mysterious good-luck charm. This work evokes both the formidable power of bamboo and the elegance that overflows from the delicate use of color. In addition, although it is a traditional Japanese kimono obi...
