Description

Red seals were originally given to temples and shrines as proof of the delivery of sutra copies. Nowadays, each temple and shrine has its own unique mark and various colored seals, and there are many wonderful red seals that you will want to look back on again and again later. The textured fabric of Tatsumura Bijutsu Orimono enhances the special feeling of the book as a place to collect such commemorative seals.

A red seal book with a cover full of history and tradition is a recommended item for creating memories of your travels. Please use it as an item to record your precious memories.

The pattern may differ slightly from that shown in the photo due to the fabric cutting process. Please understand.
The paper used for the red seal book is white Japanese paper. In the process of papermaking, some substances may remain on the surface of the paper, but this does not mean that the paper is dirty.

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.
