Description

This is a simple, thin, and lightweight wallet. It is thinly made, so it is not bulky even if you put it in an embroidery of a kimono or between an obi belt. There are four card slots. Credit cards can be inserted without any problem. There are also two bill compartments with different tiers, so you can use them separately for receipts, bills, etc. It is ideal for a variety of uses, such as a sub-wallet for parties and travel.

Gyoshiki Hōō-mon Nishiki(Warp-patterned Nishiki with Phoenix Design)

The original is a Nishiki (polychrome patterned silkp) reserved in the Shōsoin Repository (the Imperial treasure house built more than 1,200 years ago). It is believed to have been the covering of an arm-rest used by Emperor Shōmu (701-756). The main motif of the pattern is a grapevine arabesque roundel with a flapping phoenix in the center. It is typical of Sassanian-style designs to enclose animals or birds in roundels. In this design it is superbly combined with a phoenix, an imaginary bird in China, and grapevine arabesques showing the East-Roman influence. The fabric is a good example of the Japanese culture in the Nara Period (8th century), having direct or indirect access to the Chinese and Western cultures. The original weft-patterned Nishiki is noteworthy in the Shōsoin collection in terms of design, color scheme and weaving technique. Our fabric is a reproduction of the original pattern on a smaller scale, woven with the warp-cloth technique with a special care for refined color scheme most fit for this type of weaving.
