ISEKATAGAMI, a traditional Japanese stencil art with a history spanning several centuries, is experiencing a renewed evolution in harmony with modern life. Known for its intricate patterns and exceptional craftsmanship, this heritage technique continues to inspire new forms of expression beyond textiles.
In recent years, ISEKATAGAMI has attracted growing attention from media both in Japan and internationally. It has been featured in major national newspapers and was prominently highlighted on the cover of WINGSPAN, ANA’s international in-flight magazine. The featured lamp, which projects delicate stencil motifs through light and shadow, was praised for its refined artistry and innovative approach to traditional design.
Through exhibitions and art installations held across Japan, ISEKATAGAMI is expanding its role from decorative craft to spatial design. By integrating time-honored techniques with contemporary aesthetics, it bridges past and present, creating environments that resonate with quiet strength and elegance.
The subtle interplay of light and shadow, born from meticulous handwork, reflects a uniquely Japanese sense of harmony. Transcending time and borders, ISEKATAGAMI continues to gently illuminate spaces around the world, carrying forward the enduring spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.
