A Glimpse of the Past – Handcrafted Keychain with Heian Emaki Motif from Vintage Kimono
Carry a piece of classical Japanese art with you. This keychain is handcrafted in London using silk from a vintage Japanese kimono, adorned with a Heian emaki (illustrated handscroll) motif. These motifs often depict courtly life and seasonal landscapes from the Heian period (794–1185), reflecting the refined aesthetic and narrative elegance of the era. A quiet celebration of heritage and craftsmanship, this accessory bridges the past with everyday modern life.
Each keychain includes the option to add a charm—such as a Mt. Fuji silhouette—for a personal touch. Charms are sold separately and may vary.
Only one available.
No restocks—ships from London within 3 business days.
Tracked international shipping is available worldwide.
