What is Kyo-Yuzen?
Kyo-Yuzen, one of the traditional crafts in Kyoto, is a dyeing technique characterized by colorful and elegant patterns.
Goshodoki “DG”
The name “Goshodoki Pattern” is said to have come from the fact that women working at the Kyoto Imperial Palace used untied kosode (short-sleeved kimono) that had been given to them by the Emperor’s wife. The theme of this landscape pattern is based on Noh plays and stories from the dynastic period, with flowing water, flowers, palaces, bullock carts, fans, and other elegant materials symbolically arranged to create a sense of perspective.
Ryujin “GR”
The design is based on the theme of the song “Chikubushima,” and was popularly used on kimonos during the Meiji and Taisho periods (1868-1926) as a favorite of the owners of large stores and men of conglomerates.
A powerful dragon god in the center is surrounded by small accessories such as musical instruments, tamatebako (treasure chest), and Noh masks, making it a pattern that one never tires of looking at.
Fujikoshinoryu “KF”
A work from the last years of Katsushika Hokusai’s life. Mt. Fuji, the symbol of Japan, and a dragon soaring into the sky are drawn, and it is said to represent Hokusai’s own desire to “aim even higher.” Mt. Fuji is recognized as a symbol of Japan even from overseas, and is considered a lucky charm to wish for “health and longevity,” “good health,” and “family safety.” (Hokusai Museum Collection)
Graceful and elegant paulownia box perfect for a gift is adopted
Paulownia wood is lightweight and moisture-proof and is considered a graceful and elegant wood because of its beautiful grain. The paulownia wood box specifically designed for the bottle is carefully made by skilled craftsmen who specialize in making wood boxes for storing traditional craftworks such as teacups and paintings.
Each bottle is carefully stored in such a box to deliver the skills and spirit of tradition to the user.
The three-dimensional surface finish that matches the designs
Proprietary technique of layering to reproduce traditional Japanese beauty
The most notable feature of the MJX-B481 series is the three-dimensional surface finish that matches the designs.
Colors and fine patterns are layered carefully to reproduce the three-dimensional feel and texture of a motif.
The method of adjusting the way of layering patterns for each design to obtain a texture close to the original texture of the motif, ranging from craft such as gold leaf to an appearance of a kimono woven from dyed threads, is the true value of our proprietary technique.
Other Features
