SPECIAL


Boxed set is produced by Kamisoe, which offers karakami with modern elements. It includes a portion each of Gold and White Card with envelope, Writing paper and envelope set, and Pochibukuro S (3 pcs). The pattern is woodblock printed using gofun and mica pigments. It is an A&S original named "Arts & Science Yabure-Shippo (broken cloisonne)". The pattern of A&S archival fabrics is edited in the style of Yabure-Shippo, and key marks are irregularly arranged. The fineness of the lines and the mica work very well together to create a beautiful karakami.The box is embossed with the "ARTS&SCIENCE / Kamisoe" logo. Recommended as a gift too.


【Kamisoe】Ko Kado specializes in the traditional craft of karakami, a decorative paper printed with wood-block stamps. Kado graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with a degree in graphic design. He worked as a freelance designer in New York before returning to Japan to join a celebrated karakami studio. He struck out on his own in 2009, opening his independent shop and studio Kamisoe in Nishijin, Kyoto. Kado develops his designs specially for individual clients, taking into consideration their purposes and needs. His designs are distinguished by a careful balance between figure and ground – between the open space of the sheet of paper and the rhythmic pattern of the stamp.
