A soft ombré wash of cream into blush pink and vivid red gives this antique Japanese silk cushion an immediate sense of warmth and light. Cut from a rare circa 1930s obi, the design celebrates colour, silk and subtle gradation in place of ornament. Elegant, uplifting and beautifully unusual. Style it on a neutral sofa, layered bed or reading chair to introduce richness and personality with ease. The original red silk reverse adds a bolder mood whenever you choose to turn it over.

Ethical Production

Each piece is handmade in our UK studio as part of a considered approach to making, using carefully sourced vintage Japanese silks.

• Limited in number — once gone, it cannot be repeated

Each piece begins a new chapter for a textile that has already lived one life.

Packaging is fully recyclable, with materials chosen to reduce environmental impact wherever possible.
Care

Your vintage silk piece is made from delicate materials and should be handled with care:

• Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve colour

• Reshape gently after use to maintain form

• Store in a cool, dry place when not in use

• Do not machine wash or tumble dry

• Professional cleaning by a specialist is recommended

Made from authentic vintage Japanese silk, each piece may show gentle signs of age. This is part of its character and history.

Late-Taishō Period

The Taishō era spanned 1912 to 1926, chosen by Emperor Yoshihito to mean 'Great Righteousness' - a period of cultural openness when Western influence and traditional craft flourished side by side.

The Fukuro Obi

The fukuro obi (袋帯, "bag sash") is the most widely worn of the formal obi, a long elegant sash woven with intricate patterns, tied at the back in the distinctive taiko knot (named for its drum-like shape) that is the hallmark of Japanese formal dress.

This piece is made from a fukuro obi, its silk carrying the beauty of a craft tradition refined over centuries.
