The Copper Gold Royal Kiku — Japanese Ceremonial Silk Lumbar Pillow, Imperial Chrysanthemum in Copper and Gold
Price £297
A lumbar pillow cover in Japanese ceremonial silk, cut from a Nishijin fukuro obi (袋帯): the sixteen-petalled imperial kiku (菊, chrysanthemum) radiating in copper-gold thread from a silver centre on a burnished copper ground. Undyed linen reverse, envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 31 cm. For aged brass, raw linen and warm oak. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam. Kiku. The personal seal of the Emperor. The sixteen-petalled imperial chrysanthemum — the most venerated botanical symbol in the Japanese ceremonial vocabulary, here in disciplined monochrome metallic. Against a burnished copper silk ground — warm, deep, luminous in the way only fine ceremonial silk reads — the kiku radiates outward in copper-gold thread from a luminous silver centre. No secondary motifs. No competing narratives. Only the chrysanthemum, in disciplined monochrome metallic palette. The copper gives the composition its warmth. The kiku gives it its lineage. A pillow for aged brass, raw linen, travertine, warm oak — and a counterpoint to charcoal or forest green. 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.
