URUSHI BODY

URUSHI BODY is built upon the concept of the obi (kimono sash) and the bustier, as a modern iteration of framing the body with a rigid shell. Its presence, as if contouring the body's curves, presents a new relationship between clothing and form. URUSHI BODY is made by craftspeople in the Echizen region of Fukui Prefecture, by hand-tearing large sheets of handmade washi paper and layering them with glue on 3D-printed molds. The pieces are then sent to craftspeople in Kyoto to be finished with multiple coats of lacquer, transforming the warmth of washi into a solid form with a gentle gloss—an integration of traditional crafts and modern technology.
