2025 Tokyo Metropolitan Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Agency Director's Award KIMEKOMI OBJECT NISHIKIGOI Kakinuma Ningyo

A nishikigoi, brocaded carp, swimming colorfully in your room in this contemporary Japanese objet d'art.

A fusion of kimekomi techniques and digital technologies has given birth to this KIMEKOMI OBJECT NISHIKIGOI, an interior decoration for adults that offers both high-quality materials and a feeling of dynamism. Artisans painstakingly insert each piece of fabric into the grooves in the fish, creating a vibrant, three-dimensional effect. The artwork can be framed or displayed on a desk, and as a symbol of longevity, celebration, and growth, adds color and positive feelings to your daily life. The carp was deliberately designed without eyes, and finished elegantly.
