The Mokkō no Mai — Japanese Ceremonial Silk Lumbar Pillow, Kamon Crest in Emerald and Gold
Price from £208 to £297
Mokkō no mai. The dance of the mokkō crest. One of the ten great kamon of Japanese heraldry, carried here at ceremonial scale across an emerald ground. The silk is deep emerald, woven in a fine diamond-lattice rinzu that shifts in the light from matte to luminous. Diagonal bands of gold and saffron-orange cut across the field, holding three large mokkō flowers — the stylised quince-blossom crest of Japanese aristocratic and samurai houses. Each blossom is built in real kinran: gold foil wound over silk core, finished with cream and pearlised silver herringbone. The orange gives the composition its confidence. The green gives it its ground. A pillow for sofas in deep walnut, ivory, oxblood — quiet beauty for ordinary moments, gathered around a shared table. The face is the original silk, unaltered. The reverse is the silver silk from the back of the same cloth — 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.
