'Grey Shōraku - Grey study denim shifuku'
Raku-Yaki Chaire by Shōraku IV, with the Shōraku kiln stamp
with bespoke Shifuku by Studio Shifuku
Includes a custom-made signed wooden box
This shifuku is a study in tone and texture. The subtle grey Shōraku chaire is dressed in a two tone and highly textured denim. The inside lined in yet another tone of silvery grey. The himo features a slightly darker spot, picking up on the check of the denim. Additionally, this spot uses a different weight of silk, giving it a subtly different texture to the pale silver grey of the rest of the himo. In fully exploring the ideas of texture, Kyle made the top part of the shifuku slightly looser than usual to highlight the soft textures of the denim in contrast to the lower half through which one can feel the solid hardness of the chaire.
All shifuku feature bespoke handmade himo and tsugari (gathering cord that attaches the himo) in pure silk by Kyle and are signed with the Studio Shifuku mark inside. All linings are silk.
