Description

Sake plays with a visual coincidence: the distinctive curves of traditional Japanese balance weights look remarkably at home beside bottles of sake.

Japanese textile fragments build the composition in indigo and muted blue, while the embroidery below continues the rhythm with Balance Weights – Fundo-tsunagi Variation. Inspired by an old Japanese motif associated with wealth, prosperity, and good fortune, the stitched shapes take on an almost bottle-like character here.

A little tradition, a little sake, and a happy accident of shape.
