This elegant fabric panel is handcrafted in London by Risa from a majestic gold vintage Japanese obi silk featuring traditional Kikko and Hanamon motifs—a hexagonal turtle shell pattern combined with a floral crest. In Japanese textile lore, the turtle shell represents longevity, health, and dignity.
Upcycled from leftover fabric featured in Risa's heirloom upcycling video, this piece was chosen to honor the family’s matriarch—the sister—celebrating her long life as the living root of the family. The striking golden motif brings a serene, luminous elegance to the piece, embodying respect, enduring strength, and grace.
The vintage silk originally belonged to a woman who was a passionate artist and writer, whose husband gifted it to Risa after her passing in 2025 to give her cherished collection new life. Risa carefully repurposed this special textile into a beautiful wall hanging.
