Ethically made by upcycling a vintage Japanese obi belt (used to tie kimono) which dates from the Mid Showa period (40+ years). Each cushion comes with hand foiled tag which details it's edition number.
Hexagons represent the pattern on a tortoise shell and signify longevity and good fortune. Paulownia Tree (Kiri) is a fast-growing tree with foxglove-like purple flowers and the only tree the Phoenix will alight upon. Planted when a baby girl is born, the wood is then used to fashion articles for her dowry. We will send you our Hunted and Stuffed guide to symbols in Japanese textiles FREE with every order.
