Description

Inspired by Raden, a Japanese style and technique in lacquerware and woodwork, the collection is made by using inlays of shell and ivory to decorate pieces that usually have a wooden base. This lacquerware craft was first discovered as early as the Western Zhou dynasty (1050-771 BC) in ancient China. Similar traditional work also can be found in Korea and Japan.

The delicate and eye-catching mother-of-pearl carvings complement the simple black lacquer, giving the feeling of a unique oriental elegance, just like the white moonlight on a dark night. The collection features digital print and the use of gradual color. The pattern is different in each outfit to express the beauty of nature and traditional crafts through the moon phases and the Raden flowers. The moon symbolizes eternity, so I also hope that this millennium craftsmanship will continue to be passed on.
