Passion and Dedication of the Craftsman

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.

The groove design and carving precision have been completely revised, giving a crisp, sculptural, multi-faceted form that contrasts with the softer feeling of traditional kimekomi. The fabric's weave direction is minutely adjusted for each surface, with sophisticated techniques used to ensure that edges and corners do not lift or crinkle.
