“Two carp cross paths among navy blue waves enhanced with gold thread, their scales embroidered with extreme meticulousness. A textile transformed into a work of art.”

Context of the artwork

This fukusa, an embroidered ceremonial cloth used to wrap gifts on official occasions, dates from the Meiji period (1868-1912). The motif of carp swimming upstream, a symbol of strength and perseverance, makes it a traditional gift to mark an achievement.

What was a fukusa used for in Meiji-era Japan?

A fukusa was an embroidered ceremonial cloth used to wrap gifts on official occasions during the Meiji period (1868-1912) - this one, adorned with carp, traditionally symbolizes success and courage.
