? First described by French art critic and
collector Philippe Burty, it¡¯s the study of
Japanese art and artistic talent, Japonism
affected fine arts, sculpture, architecture,
performing arts and decorative arts
throughout Western culture, The term is
used particularly to refer to Japanese
influence on European art, especially in
impressionism.
? - In the 19th century, a trend for the
Orient appeared. The artists were
inspired by its luxury, its mystery
and the supernatural that
surrounded this part of the world.
But this new craze for Orientalism
was also the reflection of several
historical events that occurred
during that era.

Kimono Culture Matsu Juji Yabane Genjiguruma
Nippon textiles take on deeper dimensions of significance due to their rich iconography. Vintage kimono and obi
are powerful inspiration sources for pattern design. Among the abstract motifs we highlight shippo (overlapping
circle pattern), the hemp leaf pattern made of hexagrams, tatewaku (vertical curvilinear lines which bulge and
narrow), yabane (arrow feather), genjiguruma (wheel circles), matsu (pin tree), yamagata (mountain patterned
wavy horizontal lines), shima-mokko stripes and juji crosses. Bold and strong are the ry?sui (flowing water)
Yuzen-shi Nao Honda Studio Botan Kiku Foil Print Tachibana
The traditional Japanese floral iconography features stylized to figurative tsubaki /(camellias), tachibana
(mandarin florals), ume / susino (plum blossoms), kiku (chrysanthemums), botan (peonies) and many other
bouquets. At Kyoto based Kimura Senshow studio, where precious hand-painted Kyo-yuzen kimonos are still
produced manually; patterns are made to stand out with gold to silver leaf applications (kinsai process) or
sophisticated embroideries.

Stylesight!s futurist report ORIENTOLOGIES announced the strong culture crossover between the East and
West. The adaptation of the kimono shape and obi belt into international fashion apparel are only two cases in
point. Partially due to increasing globalization of the market place, authentic Japanese silhouettes, textiles and
design are held in extremely high regard by designers worldwide. The secret of that esteem lies in the original
ideas and shapes, refined taste and style, exceptional quality, and last, but not least unique material expertise
with textile engineering that exists only in Japan.
H. Amami - Oshima Silk Pongee Silk Sayaori Sha Silk Silk Brocade
It takes approximately 3000 silkworm cocoons to make 13 meters of authentic Chirimen white kimono silk fabric.
Traditionally woven in strips of roughly 0.38 x 13m, these textiles inhabit a world of their own. Tadashi
Maruyama, a kimono designer, loves to enhance these silks with foil prints, spreading ash on top of the starch,
finishing with a roller tanning process which brings out the power of these fabrics. An example of contemporary
kimono silk is Honba Amami-Oshima pongee (woven in refined silk yarn instead of floss), characterized by
splash patterns and subdued coloring, produced by doro-zome dyeing technique.
Tokyo Cotton Fabric Library Chemical Lace Dissolving Fabric Iwanaka Embroidered Cotton
France and Switzerland may be top lace producers, but Japan develops interesting openworks as well. The
Tokyo headquartered Cotton Fabric Library boost a wealth of Japanese made vintage lace samples, which
cannot be replicated at present due to lost techniques and lack in craftsman. Stunning examples of embroidered
lace (imagine Broderie Anglaise with a twist) are stocked in this archive. Mass-market chemical laces show a
contemporary take on openwork textiles or are made by dissolving a fabric to draw out a stunning abstract or
floral pattern.
Maurizio Gallante Lasabui Kyoto Kanoko Shibori Joint Bishu Brand Shibori Dyeing
Shibori resist dyeing is a handmade Japanese textile art dating back to the 8th century, immensely varied in its
techniques, yet always based on folding, crumpling, stitching, pleating or plucking and twisting of a fabric. Often
incorrectly labeled as tie-dye, authentic Japanese shibori is a rare textile. The labor-intensive Government
Certified Traditional Craft of Japan continues to influence international designers and textile / print studios to
create these blurry-edged pattern designs. Italian Lasabui studio and Maurizio Gallante fashion designer are
just two examples.
Embroidered Obi Koi Fish Tsuru Gru Dragonfly Tsuru Gru
¡°The meaning of patterns has been lost in time, and their being made into symbols and designs is regrettable,¡±
states Genbei Yamaguchi, President of Kondaya Genbei ¨C authentic kimono producer. The refined dragonfly
design went from being a symbol of abundant harvest to one of victory in ancient times. Currently the dragonfly
is widely employed in prints and graphics but its symbolism is lost. The gru and Koi fish (prosperity of all
kinds) is another common pattern in placement prints and embroidery. Also dragons, phoenix, mythological
creatures, crane birds and tortoise (symbols for felicity and long life) are valuable inspirations.

Origami Paper Folding Nuno Jessica Preston Kyoko Nagasawa Anna Sagstrom
The art of paper folding inspires to create enticing sculptural materials, print patterns and 3D textiles. A pioneer is
the origami pleats polyester designed by Reiko Sugo for Nuno in 1997. The technology relies on a heat-
setting process, fixing folded and dyed origami-like pleats. Kevin Saer Leong launched the Origami clothing
label featuring puffer vests in Tyvek, printed with origami folding instructions. UK textile designer Jessica
