The Kikkō Royal — Japanese Ceremonial Silk Lumbar Pillow, Tortoiseshell Hexagon and Paulownia in Black and Gold
Price from €235 to €335
A lumbar pillow cover in Japanese ceremonial silk, cut from a Nishijin fukuro obi (袋帯): three imperial crests — kikkō (亀甲, tortoiseshell), kiri (桐, paulownia) and kiku (菊, chrysanthemum) — in raised gold on lacquer-black silk. Envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 30 cm. For lacquer-black drama. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam. Kikkō. Kiri. Kiku. Three of Japan's most enduring crests gathered into one composition — tortoiseshell, paulownia, chrysanthemum — woven across lacquer-black silk. Against a deep lacquer-black silk ground, the kikkō tortoiseshell hexagon is rendered in a heavy raised metallic gold grid. At each hexagonal centre, kiri paulownia crests and kiku imperial chrysanthemums alternate in vivid vermilion, leaf green and burnished gold — the twin symbols of the Japanese empress and the imperial throne, woven together. The black gives the composition its authority. The gold gives it its grid. A pillow for ivory linen, charcoal, forest green, the aged oak of a library — quiet beauty for ordinary moments, gathered around a shared table. Seamless envelope closure. No metal touches the visible silk. Product type Lumbar pillow cover Silk source Japanese ceremonial obi (pre-loved); origin Japan.
