À la recherche du temps perdu / Scarlet remains, reshaped by time

Scarlet once worn at court. Time reshaped, not erased.

The scarlet hakama my great-grandmother wore at court.It is now an obi.

This color is too young for me.Too vivid, too alive.

Yet this scarlet is proof that she lived.A trace of time that has not disappeared, only changed form.

Clothes do not end when they are remade.They continue, quietly, waiting.

One day, this piece will be passed on again.Her time will move forward, carried by another body.

Time leaves its mark on cloth, but also reveals its strength. The garments presented here continue that dialogue between material and memory.

You may never wear a kimono.

But you can wear the art of Wasai.
