Traditional Crafts from Fukuoka and Saga Now Available at Another Imperial Hotel Online Mall
In a groundbreaking initiative, the Another Imperial Hotel online mall has recently launched a collection that brings together traditional craftsmanship from Fukuoka and Saga, especially hand-crafted products led by BEAMS' creative director, Sachiko Sato. Starting July 7, the mall will showcase two exciting brands: 'CATHRI', which features relaxing wear made from Kurume Kasuri, a traditional textile, and 'HIZEN jewelry', a collection of exquisite jewelry inspired by the ceramics of the Hizen region. This initiative aims to promote regional collaboration by integrating these traditional crafts into modern living spaces.
Located in the heart of Tokyo, ANOTHER IMPERIAL HOTEL has carved a niche as an online mall celebrating the rich heritage of "good things" from Japan. It selects unique items across the nation that reflect rich histories and narratives of the artisans behind them. The concept underscores 'local creation' and seeks to bridge the old and new through fashion and craftsmanship.
The two newly introduced brands are part of the larger 'Calling BEAMS CRAFTS IN THE MAKING' project led by Sato. This project champions the cultural significance of traditional crafts, aiming to weave them into the fabric of contemporary fashion.
The CATHRI line exemplifies sophisticated relaxation wear, marrying fashion with the unique, intricate techniques of Kurume Kasuri. Made from natural fibers, the garments not only provide comfort but also embody the cultural heritage of Japan. The signature pieces, like the 'CATHRI Dot Dress Coat' priced at 82,500 yen, are designed to appeal to fashion lovers and those looking to embrace the beauty of traditional fabric.
HIZEN jewelry elevates traditional porcelain into wearable art. The collection showcases distinct pieces such as the 'Arita-yaki Motif Pearl Long Necklace' and 'Ureshino Yoshida-yaki Ceramic Brilliant Cut Necklace'. Each item is carefully crafted to resemble precious gems, offering a modern twist on classical designs. The price range for these innovative creations starts from 35,200 yen, blending heritage with contemporary aesthetics.
This collaboration is part of a more extensive effort to connect consumers with the artisans' stories, thus creating a new platform for interaction and appreciation. In addition to Kurume Kasuri and Hizen ceramics, ANOTHER IMPERIAL HOTEL also features a variety of traditional crafts, including Tsugaru Kokeshi from Aomori and pewter products from Kyoto.
