A lumbar pillow cover in Japanese ceremonial silk, cut from a Nishijin fukuro obi (袋帯): kikkō (亀甲, tortoiseshell hexagon — longevity and protection) at architectural scale in vermilion and gold across midnight-black silk. Envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 31 cm (also 36 × 31 cm). For dark, graphic rooms. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam. Kikkō. The hexagon of longevity. One of Japan's longest-continuous symbols of protection — the tortoiseshell geometry, rendered here at architectural scale across midnight-black silk. Against a midnight-black silk ground, the kikkō tortoiseshell hexagon is rendered in deep vermilion and gold, with platinum silver flashing at the intersections. At each hexagonal centre, hanabishi floral crests emerge in layered metallic thread, building an architectural depth no printed fabric can approach. The black gives the composition its weight. The vermilion gives it its voice. A pillow for monochrome sofas, richly upholstered armchairs, charcoal-linen beds — quiet beauty for ordinary moments, gathered around a shared table. The face is the original silk, backed in undyed linen. Envelope pocket closure. No metal touches the visible silk.
