“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?

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is FSC certified, so it comes from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
