Therefore, the appearance of the pattern and colors will change depending on conditions such as the type, amount, and angle of light. 【Features】 This Goshuincho (temple/shrine seal book) uses "Kiryu-ori," a celebrated textile with a history comparable to Nishijin-ori. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, starting from the selection of the fabric, with every step carefully attended to. 【About the Work】 Kiryu-ori boasts a history of over 1300 years. It is a "treasure" imbued with the passion and efforts of the textile artisans who have passed down this weaving technique to the present day. Kiryu-ori is a material like a treasure, holding infinite creative possibilities. We believe it is a textile art with diverse expressions, stemming from its beauty, unique worldview, and sophisticated design. While the textile itself possesses high artistic value, by giving it "form," it can be elevated into something that can be enjoyed more intimately. We hope that this work, upon reaching your hands, will serve as an opportunity for many to discover and cherish the charm of Kiryu-ori. We are particularly meticulous about sourcing our textiles, selecting materials that leave a deep impression on the finished work. All materials hold potential, and through their combination and the form of expression in the creation process, we bring out their most beautiful radiance. 【Commitment to Handmade】 There are things that can only be achieved, and things that can be done, precisely because it is handmade. We face the materials directly, carefully exploring their characteristics as we proceed with the creation. The approach differs depending on the fabric. The production process, including the finest details, is structured in stages and carefully built up over time. All works are made to order. We do not keep stock. This is because the materials that form the Goshuincho are extremely delicate. All materials handled are sensitive to environmental conditions such as climate, temperature, and humidity, and consequently, the working procedures also change subtly. Therefore, we prioritize "newness" and "freshness" for the Goshuincho delivered to you. The beauty inherent in the material, and the beauty when it takes form. Our philosophy in creating these works is to deliver both in the best possible way. 【Essence】 A Goshuincho is a book that accompanies you to the many sacred places of gods and buddhas, visited with myriad thoughts and feelings. It is a special object that serves as a space to open a pure mind before the deities and buddhas, and to enshrine your spirit within. A Goshuincho is, in essence, a pure vessel to receive the names and seals of gods and buddhas, a record of your spiritual journey, and a companion for walking with prayer. Keeping its important role in mind, we sincerely pray and deliver this work, hoping it will be a comfortable and peaceful place for the gods and buddhas, and a volume that brings good fortune and blessings to you. 【Product Details】 Cover Material Front: Rokuchou-ori textile Back: Kinran-nuri textile These fabrics are relatively durable and resistant to fading, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful texture unique to woven fabrics for a long time. However, due to the delicate nature of textile fibers, please be mindful of friction and snagging. Storing it in a Goshuincho bag will help maintain its condition and allow for long-term enjoyment. Body Pages 11 sections 23 pages single-sided 46 pages double-sided * Excluding the cover pages Provided by a bookbinding company specializing in high-quality artistic bookbinding. We were deeply impressed by their technical skill, quality, and long-standing achievements, which led us to establish a business relationship. The accordion-folded hosho paper is a double-layered specification. Size (mm) Approx. 122 x 185 x 18 Pulp fibers, wood chips, and black spots (impurities) generated during the manufacturing process are part of the characteristics of Japanese paper products. All hosho paper pages have been inspected. Please note that forcibly removing impurities may cause damage. We ask for your understanding of these characteristics as features of Japanese paper. 【Woven Pattern】 Front: This Goshuincho in Rokuchou-ori textile is woven with elegant classical beauty throughout, exuding a distinguished aura. Against a calm base color, the depiction of nobles, imperial carriages, palaces, and the natural landscapes of Japanese flora and trees are beautifully arranged, creating a vibrant scene as if viewing a painted scroll. The delicate texture of the weave and the pictorial, intricate weaving elevate the artistic quality of this piece. It is classical yet not overly heavy, possessing an elegant vibrancy that makes it a truly special item. Back: A fabric woven with beautiful classical patterns of a different character has been used. Against an elegant color scheme based on a light blue-gray, imperial carriages and cherry blossoms are delicately woven, conveying a quiet beauty distinct from the front. While the front is ornate, the back design offers a sense of calm and dignity. By giving each side a different expression within a single volume, they complement each other, establishing a unique worldview and originality. We hope that each time you gaze upon the cover, you will discover new charms of this work, and that you will long enjoy the special techniques of Rokuchou-ori, the beauty of Kinran-nuri fabric, and the merits of woven textiles.
