Timeless Geometry – Set of Two Fabric Panels with Turtle Shell Motif on Vintage Kimono Textile

This set of two 20 × 20 cm decorative panels features the traditional turtle shell (kikkō) motif, each carefully mounted on a wooden base. The motif—composed of interlocking hexagons—is inspired by the shape of a tortoise shell and symbolizes longevity, protection, and enduring strength in Japanese culture. It is one of the oldest and most auspicious patterns found in kimono design.

The textile used for these panels comes from a vintage kimono made in the 2000s, originally worn for formal occasions. Transformed into textile art, the panels preserve the quiet refinement and cultural resonance of the original garment while offering a contemporary way to enjoy traditional design.
