“Patterns of Happiness from Japan” series is an original product of the Japanese goods store “Fuwa Market,” which blends tradition with modernity. It expresses traditional Japanese patterns in a textile style reminiscent of Scandinavian design. The products are crafted not only for their visual beauty but also to convey the wishes and prayers embedded in the patterns as stories. The products are developed along two lines: “paper goods” and “fabric goods.” The paper goods (such as decorative boxes, Japanese-bound notebooks, and temple stamp books) are hand-dyed at a Kyoto yuzen washi workshop, achieving a unique texture. The fabric goods (such as handkerchiefs, tenugui towels, clasp purses, and tote bags) are also carefully dyed one by one by craftsmen at a Kyoto fabric dyeing factory. Additionally, while each product is handcrafted by artisans, inspection and packaging are carried out in collaboration with welfare facilities for people with disabilities. Fuwa Market’s products, unlike traditional crafts, express a “chic and cute Japanese world” that fits into modern life, and they aim to share the new charm of “wa” not only with Japanese goods enthusiasts but also with people overseas.
