Changes in the appearance of patterns and colors occur depending on different conditions such as angle, light intensity, and light source. [Features] This accordion-style Goshuincho features a collaboration with Kiryu pure silk textiles, a renowned product with over 1,300 years of history. The silk is produced through sericulture, spinning, dyeing, warping, and weaving. The Hosho paper is created through a meticulous process starting from drying and boiling tree bark, and these delicate materials are carefully crafted into a Goshuincho. This piece is truly a handmade product. [About the Piece] Kiryu textiles offer a rich variety, ranging from breathtakingly artistic pieces and items with a unique worldview to stylish and cool designs. Beyond the weaving technique, these textiles are a "treasure" infused with the passion and dedication of those who have passed down these traditions in this region to the present day. Looking at the countless Kiryu textiles, I am struck by the creative potential in their expressive richness. Textiles are three-dimensional structures created by the interlacing of warp and weft. Because of this, the appearance of the patterns and colors changes based on factors such as light source, intensity, and angle. I am frequently captivated by these beautiful expressions. While the textile alone holds high artistry, I hope to share the charm of Kiryu textiles with more people by applying further craftsmanship to these wonderful materials to give them "form." Creation begins with the sourcing of the textiles. I carefully select each fabric, constantly keeping the final impression of the work in mind and exploring the potential inherent in each piece. My collection is extensive, and my production philosophy is to "give each textile the form in which it looks most beautiful and radiant." [Handmade Commitment] There are things that can and must be done precisely because it is handmade. I confront each piece and carefully explore its possibilities. Different fabrics require different approaches. I proceed in stages, dedicating time to every detail in the work process. All items are made to order. I do not keep pre-made stock. This is due to the delicate nature of the materials used to create the Goshuincho. Every material is very fragile, and fine adjustments in the process are required based on environmental conditions like climate, temperature, and humidity. I prioritize the "freshness" of the Goshuincho that reaches you, as it is a condition of its "beauty." [Essence] This Goshuincho is a book that accompanies you to the many shrines and temples you visit, each carrying your personal thoughts and prayers. It is a special book that becomes a place for the spirits of the deities and Buddhas to reside when you open its pure white pages before them. Mindful of the important role of the Goshuincho, I pray that this piece will be a comfortable place for the deities and Buddhas, and a book of good fortune for you, as I deliver it. [Product Details] Cover The material on the front is Kiryu pure silk textile. As it is relatively resistant to fading, you can enjoy the beautiful woven pattern for a long time (please avoid prolonged direct sunlight). Textiles (fibers) are delicate regarding friction and snagging. Using a Goshuincho pouch or similar protection will help keep this piece in its most beautiful state. Interior 11 folds 23 pages per side 46 pages total *Excluding the cover surface Sourced from specialists, this is Hosho paper carefully selected by paper crafting artisans. It is a double-layered accordion-style Hosho paper that is resistant to bleeding, quick to dry, easy to write on, and allows the ink to glide smoothly. Size (mm) Approx. 122x185x18 *Regarding inclusions characteristic of Washi Pulp fibers, wood chips, and black spots (impurities) that occur during the manufacturing process are part of the nature of Washi products. While long hours are spent removing impurities before boiling down the materials, it is difficult to remove every tiny particle. I inspect every page of the Hosho paper and remove any impurities I can; however, those that are difficult to remove remain. Forcibly removing them may risk tearing or damaging the paper, so they are left as they are. Please understand these characteristics as inherent to Washi paper. [Woven Pattern] The fabric, based on red, gold, and beige, is woven with arabesque flower and floral patterns, brilliantly expressing traditional Japanese beauty. The gorgeous yet calm color scheme is perfect for Goshuin pilgrimages to quiet the mind away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. "Kamon Kinroku" (Record of Floral Brocade) expresses the beauty, delicacy, and luxury of the woven patterns and materials, embodying the intent to record special times and memories in a magnificent, high-quality book.
