Vintage Seas. Showa Reborn.
Crafted from a vintage Japanese Tairyobata (fishing celebration banner), estimated from the 1960s–1970s, and naturally dyed with traditional persimmon tannin (kakishibu).
Once carried proudly at sea to celebrate a bountiful catch, the banner now begins a new journey as a one-of-a-kind wearable artwork—preserving its bold colors, weathered character, and the spirit of Japan’s coastal heritage.
Once Vintage. Now the Spotlight.
This piece will be exhibited at NY NOW SUMMER 2026 NY NOW® (Aug 2–4) in the Kanagawa Prefecture booth at DECO BOKO
I will be at the booth throughout the show and would be delighted to welcome you in person.
昭和40〜50年代(1955〜1975年頃)**の大漁旗を柿渋で染め、一着のドレスへと生まれ変わらせました。
豊漁を願い、海を彩った大漁旗。その力強い色彩や風合い、受け継がれてきた物語をそのままに、世界に一つだけのウェアラブルアートとして新たな命を吹き込んでいます。
どんなに古い布も主役になれる。
