2017 Summer Collection
This graceful hand-dyed ramie linen tapestry celebrates one of Japan’s most beloved symbols of summer: the morning glory (asagao). Its slender vertical format creates an elegant accent for narrow spaces while bringing a refreshing seasonal atmosphere to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Climbing gently upward on delicate vines, clusters of sky-blue morning glories bloom against the natural texture of fine linen. Long associated with Japanese summers, morning glories have been admired for centuries for their simple beauty and the fleeting nature of their blossoms, which open with the morning sun.
The flowers are rendered with expressive hand-painted brushwork and soft dye gradations that allow the colours to gently blend into the fabric. This subtle bleeding of colour creates a delicate, almost watercolour-like effect, giving the petals a soft and airy appearance. The result is a composition filled with lightness, freshness, and quiet charm.
Hand-dyed and finished by Kyoto artisans, this tapestry beautifully combines traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity, making it a versatile decorative piece for any seasonally inspired interior.
A serene expression of the Japanese summer, capturing the fresh beauty of morning glories blooming beneath a clear blue sky.
