The Champagne Hōō Crest — Japanese Ceremonial Silk Lumbar Pillow, Phoenix and Paulownia in Champagne and Gold
Price £297
A lumbar pillow cover in Japanese ceremonial silk, cut from a Nishijin fukuro obi (袋帯): the hōō (鳳凰, phoenix) moving through kiri (桐, paulownia) crests in metallic gold on a champagne ground — twinned imperial motifs. Undyed linen reverse, envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 31 cm. For ivory linen and cream daybeds. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam. Hōō and kiri. The phoenix and the paulownia — twinned symbols of the imperial household, rendered here in champagne silk and metallic gold. Against a luminous champagne silk ground, the hōō phoenix moves through fields of kiri paulownia crests in heavy metallic gold thread. The kiri — once reserved for the imperial household and the highest court ranks — and the hōō, the bird of harmonious rule, share a composition rendered in the disciplined Nishijin manner. The champagne gives the composition its warmth. The gold gives it its lineage. A pillow for ivory linen, cream daybeds, rooms with warm-toned ceramics — 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. Product type Lumbar pillow cover Silk source Japanese ceremonial obi (pre-loved); origin Japan.
