Easy to Display in Modern Spaces
Designed with today’s living spaces in mind, this decoration features a compact size and lightweight construction, making it easy for a single person—especially women—to display. The design carefully balances tradition and modernity, combining classic Kanazawa materials with a soft, contemporary aesthetic.
[Gold Leaf]
Using a combination of bold torn gold leaf and delicate sprinkled foil, the design conveys a sense of movement while retaining a gentle, elegant texture. To highlight the contrast between the soft texture of washi paper and the brilliance of gold leaf, the foil is applied using natural "dosa" sizing, a traditional material made from alum and animal glue.
[Mizuhiki]
Kaga Mizuhiki, a traditional craft from Ishikawa Prefecture, is featured with time-honored knotting techniques. This piece reinterprets the art with a modern, softer, and more feminine impression, perfect for contemporary interiors.
[Mounting (Hyōsō)]
The panel is constructed using the same techniques as traditional folding screens (byōbu). A wooden frame is crafted using traditional mounting methods, then finished by carefully applying washi to achieve a lightweight, durable, and elegantly structured panel.
