{"product_id":"vintage-nishijin-ori-folk-craft","title":"FT132 - Nishijin-ori folk craft 西陣織","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis charming folk craft piece is a delightful example of creative artistry using Nishijin-ori (西陣織), a traditional Kyoto textile known for its rich patterns, intricate weaving techniques, and luxurious silk threads. The piece features a soft sculpture of a pea pod, carefully crafted from pale green Nishijin-ori fabric with subtle floral and geometric motifs that showcase the fabric's elegance and sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the pod are three hand-carved wooden \"peas\", each with a rounded teardrop shape and uniquely painted faces, expressing different emotions. Their delicate expressions add a whimsical and heartwarming touch, evoking a sense of familial closeness or playful camaraderie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea of multiple elements fitting naturally together, like peas in a pod, suggests harmony and togetherness, a concept deeply rooted in Japanese values. Whether in family, friendship, or teamwork, being close-knit and cooperative is cherished. This motif is often used to represent siblings or a close family unit, especially when crafted with three similar figures, as in your image. It's reminiscent of the Japanese phrase: 仲良し (nakayoshi) – meaning close friends or siblings who get along well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: \u003cspan\u003e21 x 7 x 6cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53328318693707,"sku":"FT132","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/1_dddc5f9d-2f06-4b2d-af9f-30ba19c608fb.jpg?v=1757333478","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/vintage-nishijin-ori-folk-craft","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
