A lumbar pillow cover in Japanese ceremonial silk, cut from a Nishijin fukuro obi (袋帯): the goshoguruma (御所車, imperial court carriage) turning in silver and gold across a luminous ground, in the picture-scroll tradition. Envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 31 cm. For silver-toned, narrative interiors. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam.
Goshoguruma. The imperial palace carriage. The vehicle of classical Japanese court nobility — woven here in silver and gold across silk that echoes the picture-scroll tradition.
Across a luminous ground, the goshoguruma — the gosho carriage of Japanese imperial court culture — turns in metallic silver thread, surrounded by seasonal florals in gold, vermilion and azure. The composition borrows from the emakimono picture-scroll narrative tradition, time and beauty unfolding together across silk. The silver gives the composition its court. The florals give it its season.
A pillow for ivory, charcoal, dark walnut, rooms with 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.
