It's techniques that united Nishijin and Japanese
paper (WASHI).、This is the only one
technique by the craftsman that we're dealing with. This
is the only one technique of his only!! At first, they
cut Washi, newspaper or pictures minutely, and they weave strings into it by
hand (If I did the work, I would faint). It's special technique of Nishijin. You
will find that the expressions change by angles.
Only We're selling them!!!!

orders from worldwide famous fashion designers)

The history of Nishijin
Nishijin-ori (Nishijin textile) was born by Hata clan that introduced technique
of sericulture and silk textile from Sui Dynasty in 5th century.
In 8th century, the transfer of the capital
to Heian-kyo (Kyoto) carried out, the Imperial Court established the department
of textile. At that time, textile was state-run industry.
In 12th century, orders were accepted from other noble class and Samurai
also as well as Imperial Court.
In 15th century, however, Onin war broke out at Kyoto. This war is the
largest civil war in Japan.From that reason, textile industry was declined
temporarily.
After the war, craftsmen came back to Kyoto,
the place was called Nishijin (Nishi-west, Jin-camp). Nishijin was a camp of
west troops on the war.
At this time, prototype of
Nishijin that we know was born. Nishijin have been accepted by many emperors and
other person of power, and it have established the position. From that reason,
Nishijin became representative industry of Japan.
In Edo period (17 - 19th century), Japan had no war years. That's why Nishijin
developed more.

Kimono (Japanese
traditional clothes) that used of Nishijin
is super high class item still now. Kimono are taking over for generations as property of women. So, cheap kimono under 10,000 USD seldom be
found.
It goes without saying Kimono that Maiko and
Geisha are putting on are expensive.There is a great difference between
authentic Nishijin and souvenir of tourist
attraction.
Nishijin can make by small lot
and have various pattern.
We have having direct
deal and negotiation with craftsman. Expected completion time will have
possibility between 2-4 weeks
We
recommend you to look at bags made with Saka-bukuro (see below), hanging scroll
and unique portraits. We're making effort to sell them
by 200 - 400 USD. We think that it is very reasonable price as compared with
natural value (We think that it is equal to the fashion
brands.)
100% Guaranteed and
HANDMADE by Craftsmen!!
WE'RE TREATING AUTHENTIC ONE!! |
