Yuzen-chokoku New iPad case

NISHIMURA YUZEN-CHOKOKU (Kyoto)

Yuzen-zome, one of Japan’s symbolic kimono dyeing techniques, applies numerous paper pattern stencils during the process of dyeing a single kimono. What is essential in making these stencils is kiribori, the Yuzen engraving technique of etching intricate patterns onto paper. The Yuzen-Chokoku New iPad Case was created by taking this traditional craft outside of the kimono dyeing scene and integrating it into a modern context. Exquisite designs are expressed through various-sized round holes etched precisely onto a cowhide case using different types of chisels. When the iPad is inserted with its screen on, gorgeous images such as Nioh, the guardian of temples, or a beautiful leopard appears in a three-dimensional illumination. Genuine craftsmanship ensures the etched holes are in perfect round shapes so that the leather does not tear at the holes even when pulled. This is an innovative item that offers a new direction for the traditional craft.
