what leaves let through
Komorebi is the Japanese word for sunlight filtering through leaves. The leaves give the light its shape, leaving a trace of their shelter on a curtain or an empty wall, wherever the sun happens to land.
Komorebi in cloth
This project seeks to encapsulate the fleeting interplay of light and shade on fabric, keeping a little of its warmth and unexpected calm.
The collection brings together nine flags, with names borrowed from berries, blossoms, and trees to echo their colors and character. Together, they form a small garden of light, gathered here for you to wander through.
