Stencil-Dyed Series Appears

A series of stencil-dyed canvas bags has been released from the bag brand "TEMBEA." Using canvas dyed by Takeshi Yamauchi, a dyer and weaver, the series will include classic bucket totes and day totes. Stencil dyeing is a dyeing technique where a stencil with a cut-out pattern is used, paste is applied to the cut-out areas, followed by dyeing and washing, and then sun-drying to reveal the pattern. This process involves many manual steps, requiring experience and high technical skill. Yamauchi, who trained under Keisuke Serizawa, a leading Japanese textile artist, has created a perfect harmony between traditional techniques and modern graphics. The patterns are available in three types: round, triangular, and square. Scheduled for release at the end of March. From 15,000 yen (excluding tax).

A Healthy and Beautiful Utensil
A Stoneware-like Porcelain Teapot

Imari Touen's "Natsume Dobin" is a teapot characterized by its plump shape and soft, earthy texture. Despite being porcelain, its texture resembles stoneware due to the iron-rich clay. The lower purity of the porcelain stone results in black specks mixed in, rather than a pure white surface, which contributes to its generous and gentle atmosphere. When paired with Touen's kumidashi (1,200 yen), its beautiful appearance is captivating. It would also make a delightful gift or return gift. Size: approx. φ110 x H130mm (H200mm including handle). Color: White matte. 5,400 yen (excluding tax).
