About this fabric

This is a woven fabric from Nishijin, Kyoto. Nishijin-ori, which incorporates gold and silver threads and foil, is originally a fabric for obi sashes and Noh costumes, and there are very few opportunities to touch it in daily life. Our store sources this fabric and has it sewn into cushions in Japan. With a cushion, you can enjoy the density of the weave and the brilliance of gold and silver up close.

Cranes are auspicious birds serving hermits, and turtles are messengers of the sea god. Tatewaku is a pattern representing rising steam, and both are auspicious patterns wishing for long-lasting happiness.

※Due to the use of gold and silver threads, please avoid washing at home.
