In 2023, the "Fuji Unkei" series was born with the concept of expressing the image of the beautiful seasonal scenes of Mt. Fuji, using various decorative methods, inspired by the beautiful scenery created by the collaboration of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding clouds. As the third product in the series, we will be releasing "Kinu-Gumo," which takes on the challenge of new decoration.
Kinu-Gumo generally refers to cirrus clouds. "Kinu" in Japanese means silk, and cirrus clouds are characterized by their thin, delicate, fibrous, or feathery appearance, resembling silk. Fuji Unkei Kinu-Gumo expresses these characteristics delicately and dynamically with two techniques used for metal decoration: "guilloche engraving" and "V-blade engraving." By daring to create unengraved areas, the presence of clouds in the sky can be felt even more, and this is truly a cloudscape.
