About Komamon

自社が得意とする着物の縫い紋技術を活かし、直径1.7cmの小さなスペースに精密で多彩な技術で表現した紋を刺繍する挑戦を行いました。本金糸や銀糸の駒縫いによる立体感の表現や、ボカシ縫い、縫い切り、須賀縫い、相良縫いなど多様な江戸刺繍の伝統技法を駆使し、伝統的な縫い紋の美しさをジュエリーとして楽しむ新しい表現を実現。小さな紋は型を一から起こし、撚糸作りも手掛けることで、より美しく精緻なデザインに仕上がっています。既成のくるみボタンを活用した刺繍パーツ製造は、取り外し可能なように試作を繰り返し、磁石との相性を確かめながら実現しました。

Drawing on our expertise in kimono crest embroidery, we took on the challenge of stitching finely detailed motifs within a small 1.7 cm space, using a wide range of precise techniques. Traditional Edo embroidery methods are condensed into each piece, including dimensional expression created through couching with gold and silver threads. This work reimagines the beauty of traditional sewn crests as jewelry. Each small motif is developed from an original pattern, and even the twisted threads are made in-house, resulting in a more refined and intricate design. The embroidered parts, created using covered buttons, were realized through repeated prototyping to ensure they are interchangeable, with careful consideration given to their compatibility with magnets.
