The Story: The "Shishi" (Lion-dog) and Peony is a classic pairing in Japanese art, signifying bravery and nobility.
The Context: Hand-dyed using Bengara (earth red) and Shoyen (pine soot), these ancient pigments offer a depth of color that survives any digital algorithm.
Visual: A powerful, protective presence for a home, representing the "Vitality of Motion" found in Ojiya’s heritage.
- Hand-Carved Stencils: Every stencil is meticulously carved by hand with specialized blades, ensuring a "soul" that no machine can replicate.
- Traditional Hand-Dyeing: We use brushes to apply color inch by inch. This is the Hon-zome (authentic dyeing) method, where the dye breathes into the fabric.
- Natural Pigments: The deep, soulful colors are derived from the earth—Natural Indigo, Pine Soot, and Earth Pigment.
Katakai Cotton: Textiles That Age With You Crafted from 100% Katakai Cotton, a legendary textile from Ojiya. This fabric is not meant to be static; the more you use and wash it, the softer and more personal it becomes, fitting into the rhythm of your daily life.
Experience the "Life in the Place" Born in the snow and mountain winds of Niigata, these traditional patterns—from the resilient "Bamboo in Snow" to the majestic "Lion and Peony"—bring a quiet order to your modern home.
