The "Happiness Motif Series" blending traditional Japanese motifs with modern design
Auspicious motifs designed for everyday life The "Happiness Motif Series" is an original Fuwa Market textile that reinterprets motifs long regarded in Japan as symbols of "happiness, longevity, prosperity, and harmony"—such as ginkgo, pine, plum, and seigaiha—into modern designs that fit contemporary living. The natural, gentle color palette pairs well with both Japanese and Western styles, subtly adding a touch of elegance to daily outfits.

Kyoto artisan hand-dyed canvas | Traditional "tenassen" technique
Mastery of long-established Nishida Dye Works
The fabrics for the "Happiness Motif Series" are carefully hand-dyed one by one by Kyoto's long-established dye house, Nishida Dye Works. The technique used is called "tenassen" (hand stencil dyeing). By aligning stencils and layering dye plate by plate, it achieves delicate tones and depth that machines cannot reproduce.
Deep tones and warmth unique to handmade work
The canvas dyed by skilled artisans is soft and becomes comfortable in the hand while remaining durable—so it can be loved for years. The beautifully layered motifs created through time-consuming dyeing make everyday life feel special for the owner.
