Therefore, the appearance and color of the pattern may change depending on the type, intensity, and angle of light. [Features] This Goshuin-cho (stamp book) uses Kiryu-orimono, a historic and renowned textile that stands alongside Nishijin-ori. Each book is crafted with care, starting from the selection of the fabric and continuing through every stage of production. [About the Work] Kiryu-orimono has a history spanning over 1,300 years. It is a treasure infused with the passion and hard work of the weavers who have carried this craft down to the present day. Kiryu-orimono is like a treasure trove of creative possibilities; with its beauty, unique worldview, and sophisticated design, it is a form of textile art that expresses a diverse array of characters. While the fabric itself possesses high artistic quality, shaping it into a finished product allows it to be enjoyed more intimately. I hope this work reaches you and serves as an opportunity for more people to discover and come to love the charm of Kiryu-orimono. I am particularly selective when sourcing fabrics, choosing materials that leave a deep and lasting impression upon completion. All materials hold potential, and by carefully combining fabrics and forms during the creative process, I aim to bring out their most beautiful appearance. [Dedication to Handmade Craft] There are things that can—and should—be done precisely because this is handmade. I approach each material directly, exploring its unique characteristics as I work. Different fabrics require different approaches. The production process, including every detail, is divided into stages and built up carefully over time. All items are made to order; I do not keep pre-made stock. This is because the materials used to form the Goshuin-cho are extremely delicate. They respond sensitively to environmental conditions such as climate, temperature, and humidity, and the work process subtly shifts in response. Because of this, I prioritize "newness" and "freshness" in every book I send to you. My creative philosophy is to deliver the beauty inherent in the material and the beauty of the final form in the best possible way. [Essence] A Goshuin-cho is a companion that stays by your side as you visit the many sacred sites of gods and buddhas, each time holding your various thoughts and wishes close. It is a special vessel—a place to open a blank page before the divine and have the spirit (mitama) enshrined there. Essentially, a Goshuin-cho is a pure vessel designed to receive the names and seals of the divine, a partner for documenting the footsteps of your faith and walking alongside your prayers. Keeping this important role in mind, I pray that this work serves as a comfortable and peaceful space for the divine, and that it brings good fortune and grace to you as you carry it. [Product Details] Cover Material Kinran (gold brocade) textile Relatively durable and resistant to fading, you can enjoy the beautiful texture unique to this weave for a long time. However, due to the delicate nature of fiber materials, please be mindful of friction and snagging. Storing it in a Goshuin-cho bag will help you maintain it in better condition over time. Inner Pages 11 folds 23 pages on one side 46 pages on both sides *Excluding the cover pages Provided by a bookbinding company specializing in high-end, artistic, and special bindings. These are double-layered accordion-style Hosho paper. I chose to partner with them because I was deeply impressed by their technical expertise, quality, and long-standing reputation. Dimensions (mm) Large: approx. 122x185x18 Small: approx. 112x165x18 Pulp fibers, wood chips, and black spots (impurities) generated during the manufacturing process are part of the nature of Washi paper products. All pages of the Hosho paper have been inspected. Please note that attempting to forcibly remove these impurities may cause damage. Please understand these characteristics as inherent features of Washi paper. [Woven Pattern] This is a highly dignified woven pattern that boldly stylizes the phoenix, an auspicious bird, capturing its characteristic sweeping wings and flowing curves within the fabric. Originating in ancient China, the phoenix symbolizes virtuous rule, peace, and prosperity, and has held an important place in East Asian art and crafts. In Japan as well, it has been incorporated into court culture, temple and shrine decorations, and textiles, and has been accepted as a pattern imbued with status and good fortune. The rich decorative quality created by the curves and overlaps of the phoenix’s wings is its charm. The design, reminiscent of individual feathers, unfolds continuously, allowing one to feel both the elegance and the power of the phoenix. The expression, which abstracts realistic depictions into a pattern suited for textile structure, reflects the aesthetic sense of design in traditional dyeing and weaving. White and silver threads are woven into a base of deep gold. The glamour and composure of the gold harmonize, while the silver accents accentuate the outlines and overlaps of the wings. I designed this with a focus on sophisticated color and composition, carefully considering the balance of the whole.
