As a result, the appearance and color of the pattern may change depending on the type, amount, and angle of light. 【Features】 This accordion-style Goshuincho (temple/shrine stamp notebook) is a collaboration featuring "Kiryu-ori," a renowned textile with a history comparable to Nishijin-ori. The process begins with selecting the fabric, and every step is meticulously handcrafted for each individual notebook. 【About the Artwork】 Kiryu-ori textiles encompass a rich variety, from pieces of exquisite beauty like works of art to unique designs with a distinct worldview, and stylish, cool creations. Kiryu-ori boasts a long history of over 1300 years. It is a "treasure" embodying not only the weaving techniques but also the passion and effort of the textile industry professionals who have passed down this craft to the present day. We believe Kiryu-ori is a treasure trove of creative potential, a textile art with diverse expressions through its beauty, unique worldview, and sophisticated design. While the fabric itself possesses high artistic value, by "shaping" it, we can elevate it into something more accessible and enjoyable. We hope that this work, upon reaching your hands, will serve as an opportunity for many people to discover and cherish the allure of Kiryu-ori. We are particularly meticulous about sourcing our fabrics, selecting materials that will leave a deep impression with the finished artwork. All materials hold potential, and through the process of creation, we bring out their most beautiful brilliance by combining fabrics and shaping their expressions. Our production philosophy is "All woven fabrics shine with the utmost beauty." We invite you to fully enjoy the charm of textiles through this piece. 【Handmade Commitment】 All works are made to order. We do not keep pre-made stock. This is due to the delicate nature of the materials used in creating Goshuincho. All materials handled are very delicate, and fine work varies depending with environmental conditions such as climate, temperature, and humidity. We also want to emphasize the "freshness" of the Goshuincho that reaches you, as this is a key condition for "beauty." 【Essence】 This is a special Goshuincho for those who visit temples and shrines with various thoughts and prayers. It features clean white pages, ready to welcome the spirit of deities and buddhas in their presence. Bearing in mind this important role, we deliver this notebook with our heartfelt wishes and prayers that it may become a place of tranquility for the gods and buddhas, and a bringer of good fortune to you. 【Product Details】 Material: Kiryu-ori (Kiryu Woven Fabric) Relatively durable and resistant to fading, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful patterns for a long time. Woven fabrics (fibers) are delicate materials sensitive to friction and snagging. We recommend protecting your Goshuincho using a Goshuincho bag or similar item to keep it in its most beautiful condition. Main Text: 11 sections (山) 23 pages per side 46 pages total (front and back) * Excluding the cover pages. Selected by a Washi paper processing artisan, this is a carefully chosen Hosho paper. It is a double-layered, accordion-folded Hosho paper that resists ink bleed, dries quickly, and offers smooth ink flow for the writer. Finished Size (mm): Approx. 122 x 185 x 18 * Pulp fibers, wood chips, and black spots (impurities) generated during the manufacturing process are a characteristic part of Washi paper products. Please be aware that forcibly removing these impurities can cause holes, scratches, tears, or indentations. Kindly understand these characteristics as features of Washi paper. 【Woven Pattern】 This work utilizes Kiryu-ori fabric featuring motifs of Kyoto's Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) and Maiko (apprentice geisha). The fusion of visually and culturally significant elements, recreating the beauty of historical architecture and traditional performing arts through weaving, is its greatest characteristic. By leveraging the rich colors and textures unique to woven fabrics, Japan's traditional beauty is intuitively conveyed. Furthermore, through the weaving techniques and design structure, meticulous details of the architecture and figures are expressed, offering a sense of three-dimensionality and warmth that cannot be achieved with flat printed materials. Front: The front depicts Kinkaku-ji, with the accurate architectural proportions and the sheen of gold leaf on the roof expressed through weaving. The surrounding lush gardens and the reflections on the pond's surface are also minutely reproduced, conveying the solemnity and tranquility of Kinkaku-ji. The color scheme, centered on gold with harmonious accents of green and blue, balances the grandeur of the historical structure with the refreshing quality of the natural environment. The fusion of the building's intricate design with the three-dimensionality of the weaving provides a profound aesthetic experience. Back: The back faithfully reproduces the traditional kimono patterns and colors of a Maiko. The geometric and floral patterns on the kimono symbolize auspiciousness and prosperity, while the color palette, based on vermilion, green, and gold, suggests festivity and dignity. The Maiko's posture and the way she holds her fan are depicted in detail, emphasizing static beauty and the ritualistic nature of Japanese culture. The garden and water surface in the background maintain continuity with the front, creating a unified landscape composition. This work is a culmination of Kyoto's historical architecture and Japan's traditional beauty, brought together through weaving technology into a single Goshuincho. It is a piece that allows for the enjoyment of cultural and artistic value.
