Yukiwa "Gensetsu"

Special Janome(Snake Eye) Yukiwa "Gensetsu"

Against a deep and silent Gen-black background, the white Yukiwa (snowflake ring) pattern floats with ethereal beauty.

Yukiwa is a classical motif that stylizes falling snow and dancing snowflakes into circular designs. It reflects a soft, expansive snowy landscape, symbolizing purity, innocence, and rebirth.

As snow eventually melts into water and returns to the earth to circulate once more, it also carries the significance of abundance and the cycle of life.

This composition allows the deep, profound Gen-black to catch and accentuate that pure white.

Like snow dancing in the darkness, this is a piece where silence and tension coexist.

The beauty of the perfectly proportioned circles, created through the meticulous "kiribari" (cut-and-paste) technique, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship found only in our special selection.

Dressed in dignified elegance, this is Tsubakura's black—a truly prestigious umbrella.
