TABITABIYA's handmade designs, in keeping with the Japanese tradition, present original items, all made with either new Japanese fabrics or vintage kimono,  haori jackets  or obi belts that we found during our hunts in second-hand kimono shops. Because yes, in Japan, when kimono, haori, obi, etc. can no longer be worn, that's how they find a new life!
 
This duo of cushion covers is elegantly delicate with this beautiful harmony of silver and powder pink  !  On this vintage obi belt that I upcycled, a set of patterns from the universe of Yûsokumonyô 有職文様 from the Heian period. Today they designate  all the pattern exclusively worn by the members of the Imperial Court in ancient times. First, in the background, the undulating lines that rise from Tatewaku 立涌, the rising mist water , a symbol of our ability to rise above circumstances. In the past, weaving this pattern required great dexterity and it was reserved for the elite. Then, above these vertical lines,   a  geometric pattern from the animal world that we particularly like: Kikkô 亀甲, the scales on the back of the turtle, symbol of good fortune,  longevity, knowledge and great wisdom. Its geometry gives character to the whole. But the effect is softened by the finesse of the powdery pink which sets  the contours of its polygon. We can see other scales embodied by the pattern of Uroko 鱗, the scales of the snake or the fish , and that is protective pattern. Then, from the animal world we move on to an imaginary plant world with  the most mysterious flower, Karahana 唐花. Coming from China to Japan, it was born from the imagination of men to deliverinm only one flower the quintessence of the beauty of the most beautiful flowers, such as the lotus flower, the peony among others. These flowers enjoyed a privileged status in the world of Chinese and Japanese patterns. Then, to bring a little edgy touchthese covers, I chose to add two vertical stripes cut from an obi belt, which is also vintage.
