What is KARAKUSA(Arabesque)?
Hi all!
I write about common pattern of “KARAKUSA”(Arabesque) in Japan today.
KARAKUSA(Arabesque) of a pattern be known familiarly for a long time in Japan.
Did you know that it was a very lucky pattern?
The KARAKUSA(Arabesque) is seen in the remains such as Greek shrines is a model.
It’s thought that came to each place from Mesopotamia and Egypt. And it’s said that came to Japan from China via Silk Road.
It’s used as decoration of the mosques frequently in the Arab countries.
Therefore It’s called “Arabesque (like a Arabian)” in Europe.
The KARAKUSA(Arabesque) pattern such as “prosperity, longevity” have a meaning and is assumed a lucky pattern, because vitality strong lengthens a vine with out a break.
Even if a bad thing happens to all the examples, they overcome it, and “the eternity prospers” have a meaning in Japan.
So, It seems to be good to celebration of new house and wedding gift!

Charm of the Furoshiki material
Hi all!
I introduce about Furoshiki material today.
Some material is strong other material beautiful and delicate that will change depending on the situation.
Also it’s not only Furoshiki, please refer to it when you choose the cloth.
Cotton
It’s most populer and common nature material. Because cotton is easy to use water absorptivity well and strong.
How to wash
After having washed is with home washing machine, please dry it in the shade.
I suggest that share it with other laundry and wash it. Because it may discolor.
Silk
Our Furoshiki use 100% silk “Tango chirimen”.
It hold down silk luster to have softly and strong, flexible touch.
In addition, it’s the color development that It wet texture, and is beautiful color.
How to wash
Silk should be dry-cleaned, in most of the cases.
And iron only when absolutely necessary. Use a cool iron with a press cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Rayon
While there are the feel and luster such as the silk, you can use the rayon willingly more cheaply than silk.
How to wash
Rayon should be dry-cleaned same as silk.
And iron only when absolutely necessary. Use a cool iron with a press cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Polyester
Polyester is convenient at all because it’s strong and can fold it slightly compactly.
It take in almost none of the water and am used as the eco-bag because of strong.
How to wash
Circle washing is possible with a washing machine.
Use a cool iron with a press cloth between the iron and the fabric.

Park Hotel Tokyo plans to add nine Artist Rooms per year over the next three years to create an entire Artist Floor, totaling 31 rooms, as part of its Artist in Hotel project, an adaptation of the well-known “Artist-In-Residence” program in a hotel setting.
In the project, the hotel transforms standard guest rooms into Artist Rooms encapsulating their creators’ passions and views of the world, with the artists painting on walls and decorating the rooms with their original paintings or art objects based on the inspiration they obtained while staying at the hotel.
Through this project the hotel endeavors to reach out to foreign guests who are interested in Japanese aesthetics and arts in order to help enhance their cultural experiences during their stay in Japan. It offers visitors an unforgettable opportunity to enjoy art from the comfort of their hotel room.
All rooms are artistic and so cool!!!
Not only foreigner, but Japanese wants to stay too!
