Blue Waves and Ume no Hana / Kinsai Kyo-yuzen

▪Blue Waves and Ume no Hana
The blue ocean wave pattern symbolizes the spreading waves, representing lasting peace and tranquility. Plum blossoms, known as the first flowers to bloom in the cold weather, symbolize the arrival of spring and new beginnings.
The Wagasa evokes tranquility and peace, springtime and hope, as well as elegant and graceful beauty.

▪Kyo-yuzen Japanese paper
“Jizome” is the process of dyeing the base of the entire washi.
Next comes the “Irosashi” process, in which the paper is dyed using a mold frame. It is repeated as many times as the number of colors.
Finally, the paper is dried with a hot plate and warm air to produce gorgeous hand-dyed Yuzen Japanese paper.
