Ethically made by upcycling a vintage Japanese obi belt (used to tie kimono) which dates from the Mid Showa period (40+ years). Each cushion comes with hand foiled tag which details it's edition number.
High waves like this are known as Araumi (rough sea) and were initially portrayed with fierce sea creatures amongst the waves, but in recent centuries are usually stylised. We will send you our Hunted and Stuffed guide to symbols in Japanese textiles FREE with every order.
