The original folding screen painting is designated as a national treasure of Japan and is one of the most famous masterpieces in Japanese art. It is said that Ogata Korin secretly studied Tawaraya Sotatsu, who was introduced in "Fujin and Raijin (Gods of Wind and Thunder)," as a model, and while being inspired by Tawaraya Sotatsu, he established his own unique style of painting. Doesn't it seem somewhat similar to the composition of "Fujin and Raijin (Gods of Wind and Thunder)"?In the center of the work, a bold water flow with impressive stylized ripples is depicted, red plum blossoms on the right, and white plum blossoms on the left. He had an excellent sense of composition and color, and was full of talent for modeling and imagination. This work must have been very avant-garde and innovative for people at the time. Another characteristic of Ogata Korin's works is that the dates of their creation are often unknown.●Material: Woven fabric (silk thread 6A, pure gold foil thread 999.9), 1800-needle Jacquard weaving, the heart of a craftsman who weaves with respect Introduction Kyoto Kaho ~ Greetings ~ From Kyoto, the historic city that became the capital of Japan in 794, to everyone around the world. Kyoto Kaho introduces the intricate and beautiful traditional craft of Kyoto Nishijin textiles. Kyoto Nishijin textiles originated in the 5th and 6th centuries and established its foundations in the 15th century. In other words, Kyoto Nishijin textiles are one of Kyoto's leading traditional industries with a history of over 1,500 years, and were also presented to the emperor. Although kimonos are world famous, today most Japanese people no longer wear kimonos. With the decline in demand, Kyoto Nishijin textiles are facing a crisis of survival. Therefore, in order to keep this time-honored tradition alive, we have begun a new challenge. It is the creation of new value, not of "Kyoto Nishijin textiles that are beautiful to wear," but of "Kyoto Nishijin textiles that can be displayed and admired." By displaying our products in the rooms, living rooms, and studies where you relax in your daily life, the office where you spend a lot of time, and the rooms, stores, and facilities where you welcome guests, you can enjoy a unique and proud space. You will surely want to show off your special space decorated with our works to your guests. You will imagine your wonderful space where you can't help but invite your friends, colleagues, and customers. That space can be created with Kyoto Nishijin textiles, a traditional Japanese craft with a history of 1,500 years. We have meticulously reproduced the works of ukiyo-e artists who were active in Japan's Edo period with Kyoto Nishijin textiles. For example, Katsushika Hokusai and Sharaku, who have fans all over the world, Utagawa Hiroshige, who is famous for his masterpiece, Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, and Kitagawa Utamaro, who painted portraits of beautiful women. We also produce Japanese Buddhist art with Kyoto Nishijin textiles. In addition, we have meticulously reproduced the works of famous overseas painters such as Van Gogh and Renoir with Kyoto Nishijin textiles. These works are woven with 4 to 9 times more delicacy than ordinary Nishijin textiles. The technique is a new technology worthy of a patent. In other words, our works can only be purchased at Kyoto Kaho. We use pure gold foil threads, pure silver foil threads, and platinum foil threads (in addition to the usual dyed threads) for these works, and their purity is over 999.9%. Our works are woven by skilled weavers over 70 days, with more than 20 specialized processes. The finished works are full of artistry, with unchanging luster and beautifully reproduced color gradations. We have also posted a 6-minute movie that summarizes the history of Kyoto Nishijin textiles and some of the weaving process, so please take a look. We hope that by decorating our works, which make use of tradition and artistry and utilize new creativity, you can create a space you can be proud of.
