Rouketsu zome Knot bag

Part of the Tōzai collection by Kukka and kiten.kyoto, developed through the MONO MAKERS PROGRAM, this piece explores the interplay between East and West, ritual and rest.

The cotton textile is dyed by Shobien, a long-established roketsu-zome workshop in Kyoto.
Using a traditional wax-resist technique comparable to batik, each piece reveals subtle, organic variations unique to the process.

About the MONO MAKERS PROGRAM

This collection was created within the MONO MAKERS PROGRAM, an initiative by MONO JAPAN in collaboration with NN Life Japan.

The program brings together Dutch designers and Japanese makers, creating opportunities for cross-cultural collaboration and the development of new products. By combining different perspectives, materials, and techniques, each project explores new possibilities at the intersection of Dutch design and Japanese craftsmanship.
