Katazome (Stencil-Dyed) Haori with Colourful Lining

• A haori is a traditional jacket worn over a kimono, usually hip or thigh length

• It functions more like a Western cardigan or light coat and is worn open at the front

• Haori himo (small decorative cords) can be used to fasten it loosely

• The textile of this vintage haori has been made by the katazome stencil dye technique

• An interesting shimmery fabric which at certain angles reveals a pattern beneath the surface design

• Another hidden feature of this piece is the colourful almost tropical choice of the lining fabric

• This is reminiscent of the Edo period when laws banned ordinary citizens from wearing luxurious fabrics and bright colours in public

• To express their personal style, they turned to Ura-masaru (hidden fashion), keeping their kimono modest and plain on the outside, but lined with lavish, at times expensive bright-coloured fabrics with intricate artwork on the inside

• It still has its Shitsuke-ito, long basting stitches in white thread used to hold the fabric layers flat and maintain its shape during storage

• Gently pull out the stitches and remove before wearing

• An unused vintage pair of haori himo is included

3. Big Smile: To welcome guests, build warm relationships and invite prosperity

Ceramic Demitasse Cup & Saucer

• Shino Ware is a type of Mino Ware from Gifu Prefecture that dates back to the late 16th century

• Its key characteristics are a thick milky-white feldspar glaze with hi-iro (scarlet/reddish-brown) markings and iron-painted decoration

• Shino Ware was the first Japanese ware to use an underglaze technique in which patterns, such as plants and flowers, were painted using iron oxide before an overglaze was applied

• There are various types of Shino ware, including Muji Shino (plain white), E-shino (with painted designs) and Nezumi Shino (greyish tone)

• This cup and saucer set was made in the Nezumi Shino style - nezumi meaning mouse, in reference to its grey colour

• For Nezumi Shino, Oniita (iron slip) is applied to the clay body and specific areas of the design are carved using tools like a chisel (sgraffito technique)

• A thick layer of feldspar glaze is applied over the surface before firing

• During the firing, the areas retaining the iron slip turn into a mouse grey hue, while the carved sections reveal the white clay body beneath

• This set clearly shows the above technique and has a modern, almost geometric design

• The cup is slightly larger than a demitasse cup, and the saucer can also be used as a small side dish, perhaps for some biscuits to enjoy with your espresso
