Japanese Ceremonial Silk Lumbar Pillow – The Imperial Ogi Nocturne, Folding Fan and Maple in Black and Gold

A lumbar pillow cover in Japanese ceremonial silk, cut from a Nishijin fukuro obi (袋帯): ogi (扇, folding fans) holding momiji (紅葉, maple) in gold and vermilion across midnight-black silk. Envelope-pocket back, no metal against the silk; 50 × 31 cm (also 36 × 31 cm). For dark, dramatic rooms. Spot clean only. Unrepeatable, finished at the Renaras atelier, Amsterdam.

Ogi at nightfall. The folding fan of Japanese court culture, opening here across midnight silk — momiji maple leaves in autumn against the dark.

Against a deep midnight-black silk ground, ogi folding fans cascade in formation, each containing momiji maple leaves in burnished gold and vermilion. The black ground deepens the gold and saturates the vermilion. The black gives the composition its hour. The gold gives it its fans.

A pillow for ivory, charcoal, deep walnut, rooms that close into evening — 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.

Renaras: Japanese ceremonial silk, reimagined for daily life.

Each piece arrives with its own passport from the atelier — a small handmade record of the silk's first life and its transformation, signed and dated in Amsterdam.

One silk. One story. One piece. Never repeated.
