Japanese Tapestry / Kimono Art -Rainbow Bamboo-
About the Item
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, it has a somewhat Western feel to it, making it a perfect piece for a Western-style home.
?This tapestry is also can be used as Table-Center (Please refer to the pictures).

Japanese obi are meticulously crafted through countless intricate processes. We firmly believe that obi represent the culmination of Japan's world-renowned craftsmanship. However, as the culture of wearing kimonos has declined, opportunities to appreciate their beauty have significantly diminished. Therefore, at Kimono-Couture, it is our mission to share the splendor of Japan's traditions, culture, and sensibilities and contribute to the world of kimono culture through the creation of Kimono Art. At Kimono-Couture, our skilled artisans painstakingly examine every detail of each obi to bring out its maximum charm, including patterns, colors, and dimensions. Kimono Art conveys various wishes and meanings through its patterns and colors. For instance, the peacock pattern symbolizes "compassion," "abundance," and "health," while the crane pattern represents "vitality" and "longevity." Detailed explanations of the themes and beliefs behind each piece are available in the description section of our works, which we invite you to explore. We take immense pride in delivering our Kimono Art and your satisfaction is our utmost priority.

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.

Pine trees grow in harsh environments where other trees cannot thrive, and they are considered a symbol of vitality and longevity because of their year-round blue foliage.
