This is a decorative cloth made using wax resist dyeing (ろうけつ染め) that was used on the sleeves of traditional Miao clothing. The mysterious cloud pattern spreading across the center is a very important motif in the Miao culture, representing "uninterrupted and continuous good fortune." This type of wax resist dyeing is made using a very fine and labor-intensive technique. They believe that "the more intricate the pattern, the stronger the power of the blessing," and they put as much time and care as possible into each line and each swirl. ◼︎ Impression upon holding When you see the real thing, you will feel: ・The rhythm unique to handmade work ・The tranquility imbued with time ・A gentle presence not found in industrial products I think you will feel these things. ◻︎ A little personal story I really love traditional embroidery and ethnic handicrafts, and I have chosen this item as well, only selecting those that I thought "I want to keep this" after seeing them with my own eyes. Just looking at it brings a sense of calm and a feeling of being slightly healed. It's not flashy, but I think it's a cloth that will truly resonate with those who understand it. ◼︎ Value that cannot be measured in numbers Unlike "investments" such as real estate or stocks, this cloth has a value that is based on sensibility. ・Enjoyable to look at ・Fills the heart ・Beautifies the space ・Satisfies curiosity ・Cultivates one's own aesthetic sense It is recommended for those who want to cherish such moments.
