We’re about to take a delicious journey into the world of Gochisou – and no, it’s not a new Japanese restaurant. It’s even better than that 😍 Think sumptuous textiles displaying delicious treats and their vessels. Each design is born from a desire to elevate the dining experience!
The Artistry of Ontayaki Pottery
One of Gochisou’s remarkable creations showcases the exquisite artistry of Ontayaki pottery. Originating from a quaint village nestled in the mountains of Hita City, Oita Prefecture. Ontayaki is a distinguished pottery style with a rich history that spans around 300 years.
Ako’s Vision: Bridging Textiles and Culinary Art
Ako, the brilliant mind behind Gochisou, brings this vision to life in her fabrics. You get to relish the dynamic patterns that pop up from the contrast between the clay and glaze. This eye-catching play of contrast and texture is captured in her textiles, from the hand-drawn stoneware to the layered colours of the handprinted dyes.
Beyond Senses: Connecting Through Gochisou
Gochisou goes beyond being a feast for the senses– it’s about connection. Connection to texture, flavours, and the wonderful people in your life. What drives Ako when she’s creating her fabrics is the joy of sharing tasty meals with loved ones. She imagines, and then breathes life into, designs that not only make you hungry for soulful food but designs that can also ignite cheerful chatter around the table ♥️
A gentle nudge to take it easy, relish the present, and find beauty in the simple moments!
Wear Your Foodie Heart
Imagine not just rocking these prints in your home (cushions, table cloths, placemats and runners) but on your clothes – think shackets, culottes, swishy skirts, and oversized dresses! It’s like wearing your foodie heart on your sleeve – literally!
Ready to drool over these amazing Gochisou fabrics? Trust me, it’s a visual journey you don’t want to miss.
Happy sewing,
