The Kumo no Niwa — Japanese Ceremonial Silk Lumbar Pillow, Cloud Garden in Coral and Gold
Price from £208 to £297
Kumo no niwa. The garden of clouds. The classical Japanese motif of drifting kasumi — atmospheric haze rendered as form rather than absence, the silk of seasonal transition. Cloud bands move across the silk in soft coral, sage, lavender-grey and muted peach, each shape held by a contour line of pearlised gold thread. The contour technique is characteristic of fine Nishijin work — running-water spirals and current-lines woven directly into the cloth, defining edges the way ink defines a brushstroke. The colours sit close in tone but never repeat. The gold gives the composition its outline. The coral and sage give it its breath. A pillow for the in-between weeks of the year, for rooms that hold light softly — quiet beauty for ordinary moments, gathered around a shared table. Face and reverse are both original obi silk — the patterned face on one side, the silver silk of the obi back on the other. The pillow can be turned. Envelope pocket closure. No metal touches the visible silk. Renaras: Japanese ceremonial silk, reimagined for daily life. Each piece arrives with its own passport from the atelier — a small handmade record of the silk's first life and its transformation, signed and dated in Amsterdam.
