Description from the seller
The design of this cotton upholstery fabric is a true homage to traditional Japanese aesthetics, capable of elegantly blending art, symbolism, and natural beauty. On the ivory background decorated with a subtle gold fan pattern, refined scenes stand out: geishas wrapped in floral kimonos, koi carp among stylized waves, lotus and chrysanthemum flowers, snowy mountains, and starry skies. Each element evokes the floating world of Ukiyo-e, where nature and human figures coexist in perfect harmony.
The fabric impresses with the precision of its design, chromatic depth, and harmony of composition. The warm tones of the flowers alternate with the navy blues of the waves, creating a visual balance suitable for both classic decorative uses and modern interpretations. The quality of the cotton, resistant and pleasant to the touch, makes it ideal for scenic curtains, headboards, upholstery cushions, decorative panels, and wall coverings. In minimalist spaces, it can become the main feature; in more eclectic environments, a sophisticated nod to Eastern art.
The figure of the geisha, often misunderstood in the West, has always been a symbol of art, culture, and aesthetic perfection in Japan. It is said that the most famous among the geishas of the Edo period, Mineko Iwasaki, could silence a hundred men with a single gesture of her fan, captivated by the grace of her movement. In this fabric, the fan and the flowing water remind us of the silent strength of beauty and the art of enchanting without raising one's voice.
Measurements: 5.00 x 1.40 m
