Kyoto TSURUKAME Tsurukame Tatewaku Nishijin-ori Cushion Cover 45x45cm

A truly beautiful cushion cover (45 x 45 cm) featuring a crane and turtle tatewaku pattern from Kyoto's Nishijin-ori. This elegant textile woven with gold and silver threads and foils brings the traditional beauty of Japan gracefully into modern spaces.

Product Features

The crane is a lucky bird serving hermits, and the turtle is the messenger of the sea god, a "manju-game" (longevity turtle). These auspicious patterns have been cherished since ancient times as "Charms for luck," carrying wishes for enduring happiness in health, wealth, and longevity. The cranes and turtles depicted on the graceful curves of the tatewaku pattern are dignified, bringing peace and joy to the viewer's heart. The edges are piped. The thin tape around the edge defines the shape, making it look elegant when placed on a sofa.

Since being introduced from Ming China during the Muromachi period, weaving techniques have been continuously passed down in Nishijin, Kyoto, for a long time. The delicate sparkle of gold and silver threads and the intricate weaving crafted by skilled artisans allow you to feel the wonderful weaving culture of Japan up close.

About this fabric

This is a patterned fabric woven in Nishijin, Kyoto. Nishijin-ori, woven with gold and silver threads and foils, was originally intended for obi sashes and Noh costumes, and there are very few opportunities to touch it in daily life. We procure this fabric and sew it in Japan to create cushions. As a cushion, you can enjoy the density of the weave and the sparkle of gold and silver up close.

The crane is a lucky bird serving hermits, and the turtle is the messenger of the sea god. Tatewaku is a pattern representing rising steam, and both are auspicious patterns wishing for lasting happiness.

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