Description

A playful compact mirror that combines a traditional Japanese pattern with a practical everyday mirror. Its softly rounded, charming shape is complemented by the elegant character of the pattern, creating a look that feels both fresh and modern. Although it brings together different materials and textures, the overall design remains clean and well-balanced. It is a delightful little accessory that is sure to lift your spirits every time you reach for it.

One of the two mirrors is a magnifying mirror, making it convenient for touching up makeup or checking fine details. Its compact size fits easily into a handbag or pouch without taking up much space, making it an easy-to-carry everyday essential.

Combining everyday practicality with a cute, softly rounded design, this compact mirror also makes a lovely gift. Perfect for treating yourself or as a thoughtful little gift for someone special.

Patterns

Budo Karakusa-mon Nishiki(Brocade with Grapevine Arabesques)

The original of this reproduction is a weft-patterned brocade in twill weave, with a design in yellow on a purple ground. The pattern consists of a flower with four double-petals and points in the center as a main motif, surrounded in an octagonal form with vine arabesques with leaves, grapes and scrolls in a symmetrical arrangement. The curve of the arabesques is exquisite and the composition is well-balanced, though somewhat complicated, showing the high level of the graphical presentation of the time. Undoubtedly, it is the most graceful masterpiece among the large number of fabrics of the similar design preserved in the Shōsōin - the wooden storehouse at Tōdaiji temple, Nara, housing several thousand precious ornamental and fine art objects from the 8th century, many of which were donated by Empress Kōmyō, consert of Emperor Shōmu (701-756).

Shosoin Pattern Collection

Since its establishment in 1894, Tatsumura Bijutsu Orimono has been engaged in textile production based on "restoration and creation. Among these, research and restoration of Shosoin treasures is one of the cornerstones of the company's activities. Since Heizo Tatsumura, the founder of Tatsumura Bijutsu Orimono, conducted research on ancient textile fragments at Shosoin and restored them, his knowledge, techniques, and spirit have been passed down through the generations to today's Tatsumura Bijutsu Orimono.
In this feature, we have selected notable patterns from among the many Shosoin-derived patterns that we have restored. We hope you will see, touch, and feel the delicacy and beauty hidden in Shosoin treasures. Please enjoy them to your heart's content.
