Therefore, the appearance of the pattern and colors may change depending on the type, amount, and angle of light. 【Features】 This Goshuincho (temple/shrine stamp book) uses "Kiryu-ori," a renowned textile with a history as long as Nishijin-ori. Each piece is carefully handcrafted, starting from the selection of the fabric, with every step meticulously executed. 【About the Work】 Kiryu-ori boasts a history of over 1300 years. It is a "treasure" that embodies not only exquisite weaving techniques but also the passion and dedication of the textile artisans who have passed down this craft to the present day. Kiryu-ori is a material brimming with creative potential, a textile art that displays a rich variety of expressions through its beauty, unique worldview, and sophisticated design. While the fabric itself possesses high artistic value, by giving it "form," we can elevate it into something that can be enjoyed more intimately. It is our hope that this work, upon reaching your hands, will serve as an opportunity for many to discover and cherish the allure of Kiryu-ori. We are particularly meticulous about sourcing our textiles, selecting materials that will leave a deep impression in the finished piece. All materials hold potential, and through the combination of fabrics and the forms of expression in their creation, we bring forth their most beautiful and radiant state. 【Commitment to Handmade】 There are things that can and should be achieved precisely because they are handmade. We approach the materials with sincerity, carefully exploring their characteristics as we create. Each fabric requires a different approach. The production process, including the finest details, is structured in stages and built up painstakingly over time. All pieces are made to order. We do not keep pre-made stock. This is because the very materials that form the Goshuincho are extremely delicate. All materials handled are highly sensitive to environmental conditions such as climate, temperature, and humidity, and the working procedures subtly change accordingly. Therefore, we prioritize "newness" and "freshness" in the Goshuincho delivered to your hands. We aim to deliver both the inherent beauty of the material and the beauty of its final form in the best possible way. This is the philosophy behind my work. 【The Essence】 A Goshuincho is a book that accompanies you to the many sacred sites of deities and Buddhas, visited with countless thoughts and emotions. It is a special entity that serves as a pure space, opened before the deities and Buddhas to enshrine their spirits. Originally, a Goshuincho is a pristine vessel for receiving the names and seals of deities and Buddhas, a record of one's spiritual journey, and a companion for walking with prayer. Bearing this important role in mind, we sincerely pray and offer this work to be a comfortable and serene place for the deities and Buddhas, and a source of good fortune and blessings for you. 【Product Details】 Cover Material: Kinran (gold brocade) fabric It is relatively durable and resistant to fading, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful texture unique to woven fabrics for a long time. However, due to the delicate nature of textile fibers, please be mindful of friction and snagging. Storing it in a Goshuincho bag will help maintain its condition and allow you to use it for longer. Main Body: 11 folds 23 pages per side 46 pages total (both sides) * Excluding the cover pages. This is provided by a bookbinding company specializing in high-quality, custom binding. We were deeply impressed by their technical skill, quality, and long-standing track record, which led us to establish this partnership. Size (mm): Approx. 122 x 185 x 18 Pulp fibers, wood dust, and black spots (impurities) generated during the manufacturing process are characteristic of Japanese paper products. All pages of the hosho paper have been inspected. Please note that forcibly removing impurities can cause damage. Kindly understand these characteristics as features of Japanese paper. 【Woven Pattern】 The overall composition is characterized by "Michinagadori," a pattern that creates compartments for motifs with elegant curves. Within these compartments, chrysanthemums, hana-bishi (flower diamonds), waves, arabesque, and hana-bishi placed within roundels, all of which have been used in Japanese attire and crafts since ancient times, are skillfully woven. By arranging motifs with different characteristics, such as flowers, plants, and waves, within the fluid divisions created by the michinagadori, a rich landscape is born within a single textile. Chrysanthemums are auspicious motifs symbolizing nobility and longevity. Hana-bishi, a refined pattern arranging flowers in a diamond shape, adds a sense of dignified beauty. Waves, with their ceaseless ebb and flow, evoke wishes for endurance and a gentle flow, while arabesque, with its unceasingly growing vines, has been cherished as a motif representing vitality and connection. Furthermore, the design of hana-bishi contained within roundels lends rhythm to the whole, creating a beautiful harmony between the flowing floral motifs and geometric patterns. The pink-beige base color softly envelops these traditional patterns, presenting a gentle and modern expression while maintaining traditional dignity. This piece harmonizes vibrancy and tranquility.
