Exactly “Appreciating” Kintai . They are close in age, and both have orthodoxy as their backbone, but go beyond the framework of tradition to carve out the future of textiles and Japanese painting, respectively. This was realized as a dream collaboration work exclusively for Nihonbashi Takashimaya.

Mr. Nishinaka’s works are created using a process called “Yobitsugi”, in which he breaks down the pieces he has created and then puts the pieces back together. In other words, it’s “destruction and rebirth.” This collaboration came about because we sympathized with Godai’s method, which is similar to Godai’s slogans “Dynamic Dynamics of Harmony” and “Liberation of Harmony.” Jumping out of the fabric, only the design fuses with glass We express the “dynamism of Japan” and “liberation of Japan” with the sparkle of glass. ・Yobitsugi large plate Giyaman Makuzu (Yobitsugi Ozara Giyaman Makuzu) The auspicious pattern drawn on the phoenix is based on the name succession commemorative pattern “colorful glazed phoenix brocade” and the auspicious pattern drawn on the phoenix.

While retaining Tatsumura’s unique color scheme, we paid special attention to the balance between the colors of the waves and the colors used to decorate the treasures on the ship, creating a piece that is easy to match with formal kimonos. The pattern is appropriate for Godai Heizo’s thoughts on succession to the name, and celebrates a successful start. 3,718,000 yen (tax included) (*) Unlike the jacquard loom, which uses a jacquard device to control the raising and lowering of the warp threads, Tsuzureori is a technique in which the warp threads are scooped up by hand and the weft threads are woven into the weave. Monzuri combines the best of both worlds.

generations, he has created a motif that has not been featured much in the past, and has created it with the unique feel of Heizo Goda, expressing a sense of exhilaration, dynamism, and overflowing power with swirling azui clouds. Clouds in ukiyo-e prints, clouds in landscape photographs, clouds in carvings on transoms, clusters of clouds in the summer sky that I saw myself…the clouds woven here express mental landscapes that are a mixture of all of these. 2,200,000 yen (tax included) Image right) Colored glaze phoenix brocade The motif is a tea utensil (water pottery) made by Kozan Miyagawa II, which has a dignified yet adorable appearance of a single phoenix standing there. When creating the textiles, he pays special attention to the lighting, the texture of the glaze and pottery, and the expression of the phoenix’s eyes, and uses gold and silver thread, lacquer thread, and colored thread to complete the work. Tatsumura Kintai has a technique called “ga Gotoku,” which expresses a motif on brocade as if it were the real thing, and we adopted that method of expression. 1,760,000 yen (tax included)

This work was created with the idea that it would become a guardian deity for those who wear this obi. 1,518,000 yen (tax included)

It was finished. 748,000 yen (tax included)

One of my favorite summer belts is “Rokinmo okagosha.” (The surface of the river is made of a translucent twist-woven “gauge,” and the small fish swimming there are made of “golden.” We have reinterpreted the weaving technique of the cool textile that expresses coolness and created it as art that is relevant to the present day. With the theme of the expression of the water surface, we used “Ra”, which is similar to “紽” and “sample”, and the warp threads are exquisitely gradated by craftsmen, and the panel stand is accented with gold and silver leaf by an up-and-coming mounting artist. This work depicts the gentle coastline of England’s Isle of Wight, a resort area that he would like to visit someday. Price: 3,850,000 yen Height 85cm x Width 65cm

This is an original obi made by Takashimaya, and has been passed down to this day as a brand that aspires to be the pinnacle of artistic textiles. Connection between Tatsumura and Takashimaya Tatsumura and Takashimaya started business around 1897 (Meiji 30), when Takashimaya supported Tatsumura, who had just started his business, and Takashimaya expanded into Osaka by taking over Marugameya, which was run by the uncle of the first generation Heizo. , has a deep relationship and a long history. This Osaka store opening was an opportunity for Takashimaya to make a leap forward, and it was also a good opportunity for Heizo to expand its textile business. In 1927 (Showa 2), the “First Kintai Works Exhibition” was held at Takashimaya. After the war, in 1955 (Showa 30), the Tatsumura Heizō brocade art exhibition was revived to commemorate Takashimaya’s 125th anniversary. Furthermore, in 1956 (Showa 31), when the new building of the Osaka store was completed, Tatsumura and Takashimaya opened the Tatsumura Corner, and the ties between Tatsumura and Takashimaya continued to grow stronger. It continues to this day. “Fifth Generation Heizo Tatsumura Succession Commemoration Exhibition” Scheduled to tour Takashimaya stores Shinjuku store: Wednesday, December 11th to Tuesday, December 17th, 11th floor kimono salon *You can view interviews with Godai Tatsumura Heizo from the URL below.
