Kenju's "Obi Art" combines brilliance, depth, and beauty.
Fascinated by the gorgeous patterns and world view of kimono and obi, the traditional culture that Japan is proud of, we have created obi art as a new art form.
While many kimonos and obis have been handed down from generation to generation and are carefully preserved, opportunities to show them off and to wear them are very rare these days. There are precious items that have been passed down from grandmother to mother and from mother to daughter, and there must be times when sons and fathers remember their mothers' kimonos. Kenju has been asking himself if it is possible to preserve such precious objects by arranging them in a modern way.
It can be left to posterity as a memento of my grandmother and mother, and it will always be with me. I want to keep it as a memory forever. Obi Art" was created to be such an existence.
By incorporating various shapes, a unique three-dimensional effect is created in each piece. The "luminance and color" that is created by shadows and viewing angles will never bore you, and you can enjoy the various expressions. The design is suitable for any kind of space, such as decorating the wall of a room or placing it in an entrance.
From large to small, each kimono and obi is given a shape that represents a precious memory, and everything from framing to designing and finishing is done by hand.
I want to leave my memories of my grandmother and mother as a beautiful form. You want to make your kimono or obi into a one-of-a-kind treasure. We will preserve your precious thoughts and feelings as "obi art" and deliver unforgettable treasures that will last a lifetime.
