About this canvas

This black obi canvas showcases patterns symbolizing prayers for eternity.

The use of the traditional Jimon weaving technique gives it a unique appearance that varies depending on the lighting conditions.


Period/Story

This canvas is made from an upcycled obi from the late Showa period, likely dating from around the 1980s.

 

Explanation and meaning of pattern and colors

This obi showcases a design consisting of chrysanthemums, waves, and haze, all rendered in black.

The waves, continuously rising and falling without end, symbolize good fortune, representing concepts such as eternity, immortality, longevity, and birth.

The haze, with its formlessness, has been traditionally depicted in the shape of the letter "e" (エ). This haze pattern is connected with a sense of perspective and the passage of time. It is said to symbolize "eternity" in the sense that it appears and disappears with the passing of time.


Description of fabric characteristics

Nishijin silk weaving is a highly advanced technique originating in Kyoto, Japan, with a history dating back to the 5th century. What makes this technique distinctive is that it relies solely on variations in thread weaving to create intricate patterns, without the use of color.
