The Imperial Gosho Narrative — Japanese Ceremonial Silk Lumbar Pillow, Court Carriage in Silver and Floral
Price £297
A lumbar pillow cover in Japanese ceremonial silk, cut from a Nishijin fukuro obi (袋帯): the goshoguruma (御所車, imperial court carriage) turning in silver and gold across a luminous ground, in the picture-scroll tradition. Envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 31 cm. For silver-toned, narrative interiors. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam. Goshoguruma. The imperial palace carriage. The vehicle of classical Japanese court nobility — woven here in silver and gold across silk that echoes the picture-scroll tradition. Across a luminous ground, the goshoguruma — the gosho carriage of Japanese imperial court culture — turns in metallic silver thread, surrounded by seasonal florals in gold, vermilion and azure. The composition borrows from the emakimono picture-scroll narrative tradition, time and beauty unfolding together across silk. The silver gives the composition its court. The florals give it its season. A pillow for ivory, charcoal, dark walnut, rooms with 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.
