Story
Although we promised ourselves a couple of years ago that our buying trips would never again coincide with a Japanese summer, alas, it worked out that way because we have an exciting collaboration at the end of the year we needed to be in Sydney for.
We attempted to wake up early and reach the antique markets before the heat and humidity set in, although our long hours spent there meant it was impossible to avoid. Heat and sunburn aside, we found so many stunning ceramics, baskets, animals, and some truly unique one-off pieces.
Japanese Textiles
Japanese textiles have a rich history spanning thousands of years, deeply rooted in craftsmanship, tradition and cultural expression. From early handwoven hemp and silk fabrics to the intricate dyeing and weaving techniques developed during the Edo period (1603–1868), textiles have long played an important role in Japanese daily life. Traditional methods such as shibori (resist dyeing), kasuri (ikat weaving) and sashiko (decorative reinforcement stitching) reflect Japan’s appreciation for detail, practicality and beauty. Often inspired by nature and the changing seasons, Japanese fabrics continue to celebrate generations of skilled artisans, preserving time-honoured techniques while embracing contemporary design.
