This is a picture created using "katazome," a traditional Japanese dyeing technique that involves applying patterns to cloth or Japanese paper using stencils.




Tree of Life
The motif of animals symmetrically placed around a single tree can be seen all over the world.
Originating in ancient Persia, this sacred tree bestowed blessings upon animals through its sap,
and has been a beloved symbolic motif as the "Tree of Life" since ancient times.






Colored with persimmon tannin and iron mordant on linen fabric.




The frame is custom-made by Isoroku Seisakusho in Hiroshima.

Please enjoy the warmth and craftsmanship that mass-produced items can never replicate.
