Envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 31 cm (also 36 × 31 cm). For warm, heraldic interiors. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam.
Aoi. The crest of the Tokugawa. The hollyhock crest of Japan's most enduring shogunal house — rendered here on persimmon silk with the shippo seven-treasures border.
Against a warm persimmon silk ground, the aoi crest sits in fields of shippo — the seven-treasures geometry of interlocking circles — in burnished gold and metallic thread. The persimmon gives the composition its warmth. The aoi gives it its lineage.
A pillow for charcoal sofas, walnut studies, rooms that hold one collected object — quiet beauty for ordinary moments, gathered around a shared table.
The face is the original silk, backed in undyed linen. Envelope pocket closure. No metal touches the visible silk.

Care
Care
Spot clean only — these are ceremonial silks, not washable textiles. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the depth of colour. The envelope pocket closure requires no zip or metal clasp touching the silk: this is intentional. Mottainai — nothing wasted, nothing forced.
