ZEN RIVER
ZEN RIVER
$49.00
Edo-komon silk fabric. Komon refers to “small pattern” which began in the Edo period when sumptuary laws were passed limiting the purchase and wearing of luxury materials. From a distance, the small patterns appeared as a single color.
The pattern design is hyakusen, a natural river plants mix, of white-dotted design on blue background. Older designs from the Edo period are recognized by the white on blue background. The thousands of white dots are hand applied resist to remain white when the silk is dyed. Other color backgrounds came later on

BARBED WIRE
Barbed Wire
The LTK collection includes silks that date back to the Edo period, the time of the samurai and the shogunate. The opulence of the court at that time demanded that courtesans and nobility wore only the finest clothing. Patterns and designs of the fabrics were not at the whim of the designers, but rather had deep rooted symbolism and poetic interpretations of nature and the surroundings. You can sense the history and the high level of artistry and many hours of handcraft when you hold this tie in your hands. This is not just a tie, it's an heirloom.
The "Barbed Wire" pattern is a graphic representation.
The design is rare and extremely limited. Only 20 ties and pocket squares will be made from this fabric and once they're sold, there will be no more.
