A lumbar pillow cover in Japanese ceremonial silk, cut from a Nishijin fukuro obi (袋帯): the aoi (葵, Tokugawa hollyhock crest) set in a shippo (七宝, seven-treasures) ground across persimmon silk. Envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 31 cm (also 36 × 31 cm). For warm, heraldic interiors. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam. Aoi. The crest of the Tokugawa. The hollyhock crest of Japan's most enduring shogunal house — rendered here on persimmon silk with the shippo seven-treasures border. Against a warm persimmon silk ground, the aoi crest sits in fields of shippo — the seven-treasures geometry of interlocking circles — in burnished gold and metallic thread. The persimmon gives the composition its warmth. The aoi gives it its lineage. A pillow for charcoal sofas, walnut studies, rooms that hold one collected object — 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.
