KIMINARI:Kimono-Inspired Tippet
KABUTO Co., Ltd. (Fukui)
The “KIMINARI:Kimono-Inspired Tippet” is a tippet crafted from rare brocade fabric used in Hina dolls, inspired by the “Kasane no Irome” color layering seen in the Heian period’s Junihitoe. Leveraging the strengths of a former doll manufacturer, it was conceived from conversations with customers purchasing Hina dolls, embodying the idea of making milestone culture more accessible and everyday. It reconstructs the culture of “entrusting precious thoughts,” symbolized by the Hinamatsuri, as an “attire” for modern daily life. Not only can it be worn, but when not in use, it can be displayed as interior decor, allowing enjoyment throughout the year. The packaging is thoroughly sustainable, with luxurious shibori dyeing transformed into a furoshiki-style eco-bag, and the paulownia box and washi paper can be reused for storage, utilizing their moisture-absorbing and deodorizing functions. Bamboo charcoal is also included, providing an all-in-one solution for maintenance. This follows the style of Hina doll handover, incorporating the traditional Japanese wisdom of “mottainai” into modern gifts. It combines the three experiences of “using, gifting, and displaying” into one, balancing cultural value and everyday practicality. As a Kimono-inspired Tippet, it pairs easily with Western clothing, allowing people overseas to feel close to Japanese culture.
