This piece is delicately handwoven using silk threads from Nishijin textiles, a traditional craft of Kyoto. The vivid colors are achieved through expert hand-dyeing, and the luxurious sheen of the high-quality silk thread is exceptional. Experience the beauty of handcrafted, made-in-Japan artistry. ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ February is the season of “ume” (plum blossoms), as well as the delicate violet flowers that bloom during this time. The deep purple hue used in this piece is known as “Kodai Murasaki” (ancient purple). Purple has long been a color associated with admiration, power, and wealth. The first to introduce rank-indicating colors into daily life was Prince Shōtoku, who established the Twelve Level Cap and Rank System, where purple represented the highest rank. In ancient Rome and Egypt, purple was also considered a symbol of power and wealth due to its rarity. This piece beautifully combines the fresh elegance of light amethyst with the noble and refined charm of deep purple. It is a perfect gift and an exquisite accessory for special occasions, including traditional Japanese attire.
