Gift the beauty of 100 years ago for the start of a new life | Meisen Art Panel

Gifting the beauty of 100 years ago for the start of a new life.

Moving, a new home, a new job, opening a store, marriage.

When a new life begins in a new place,
why not give a piece of art to decorate the space they will be spending time in, along with your "congratulations"?

Ay is proud to introduce our new "Isesaki Meisen Art Panel."

Decorating your home with 100-year-old Meisen

"Isesaki Meisen" was a silk fabric that took the world by storm about 100 years ago in Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture.

We have carefully taken apart Meisen kimonos, which charmed women of that era with their vivid colors and bold designs, and crafted art panels from beautiful snippets of the fabric.

Rather than just inheriting them as kimonos,
we are bringing them into modern life by "displaying them as art."

At 33cm × 24cm, they are easy to incorporate into any small space, such as an entryway, living room, bedroom, or around your desk.

A gift to celebrate "what comes next."

For a friend who has moved to a new home.
For a family that has built their long-awaited dream house.
For a loved one taking on a new job.
For someone who has opened a store or company.

Flowers and sweets are lovely, but why not choose something that will last long in their new space?

Because Meisen has been passed down for over 100 years, we believe it is the perfect gift to celebrate the time that is about to begin.

Perfect for celebrations such as:

• Moving
• New home
• Career change/New job
• Store opening/Starting a business
• Marriage
• Birthday/Anniversary gifts
• Gifts for those with ties to Gunma

Every piece is one of a kind.

We use authentic vintage Isesaki Meisen.

Even when crafted from the same kimono, the pattern expression changes depending on where it is cut, making each one a unique, one-of-a-kind item.

Thinking of the person receiving the gift,

"This red would look good on them,"
"This pattern would suit their new house,"

you can search for a favorite piece just as you would choose a painting.

From 100 years ago, into the next 100 years.

We are not just preserving old things.
We are transforming them into a form that people living today can find "beautiful," connecting them to the next era.

We hope that the beauty inherited from 100 years ago will accompany someone at the start of their new life.

This is a small piece of art infused with that sentiment.
