Description of item

A bold blue accents
a modern auspicious motif
The Kikko (tortoiseshell pattern) literally derives from the shape of a tortoise shell and has long been cherished as a symbol of longevity and good fortune.
The intertwining hexagonal design also embodies a wish for prosperity. The hand-printing technique used by Kyo-Yuzen craftsman has beautifully dyed this auspicious pattern.
The hand-printing precisely overlaps multiple stencils to create a single pattern. The result is a delicate expression that could never be replicated by a machine alone. The beauty of this is a result of years of history and artisanal experience. The leather's natural texture is preserved without any pigment dyes or prints, making it an unparalleled beauty. One of the hallmarks of Kyo-Yuzen is the use of high-temperature steaming, which enhances the development of the dye. The fibers would be destroyed and damaged by heat and water immersion, but the Yuzen and leather craftsmen used their knowledge to continuously scrutinize and adjust the steaming time and temperature to achieve this.
