Textile, Senko-hanabi
This is a Textile. It was designed by Keiko Tanaka and made for minä perhonen. It is dated 2016 and we acquired it in 2018. Its medium is foundation 100% linen; embroidery 65% acetate, 23% rayon, 12% polyester and its technique is embroidered on plain weave. It is a part of the Textiles department.
The theme of Tokyo-based fashion brand minä perhonen’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection was “remembrance of sand and soil.” This design, created by Keiko Tanaka, draws a parallel between sparking, microscopic grains of sand and senko-hanabi, a traditional Japanese firework similar to sparklers. Watching senko-hanabi is said to evoke mono no aware, a momentary sadness we feel when reminded of the beauty and briefness of life. The sparks are rendered in three-dimensional silver embroidery on a midnight blue ground.
